# I love this plant so much and struggle with it even more. Every time…

I love this plant so much and struggle with it even more. Every time I get a new leaf, I lose one. I moved it closer to my humidifier yesterday. I sat down beside it today and saw a stem was snapped in half. There goes another one!

Fertilizer? I’m new to these but I’ve read they’re very hungry plants.

I have some and can try it out. I just watered 2 days ago so i need to wait. Thanks!

I would suggest switching to distilled water if you currently use tap. Prayer plants do NOT like lime in the water. At all. If you have hard water, I would recommend buying distilled water or better yet, collect rain water/snow for ur baby. I just bought another one yesterday, as a matter of fact! I love her already. 💚 Good luck!!
