Hi! My prayer plant is yellowing and needs to be repotted. Do I cut the yellow leaves when I repot or leave them? New to plants 😬

Prayer plants are super finicky. I would watch videos on you tube or google. No tap water. Needs humidity, indirect light, not to wet not to dry, the stars have to be aligned north to south, and the earths axis needs to be tilted for survival of a prayer plant 😂

And yes, trim the leaves

I trim mine if needed and haven’t had any issues.
