I have two prayer plants - one looks like it’s thriving while the one I took down from the hanger is giving me some bad signs of sickness. They have been getting same amount of water and placed is similar location in the living room. The leaves are soft and very loose, some wrinkly. What could it be? Is the pot too small and because of no drainage?
Start with checking the roots for root rot

0 likes Thanks Jenna. I might need to repot it into a larger pot with drainage. Any tips on how to repot it?

1 like It’s quite indirect sunlight. The sick prayer plant was actually farther away from the window than the one thriving

They have difficulty with chemicals in tap water. Filtered water doesn't guarantee that all chemicals are removed. Rain Water is also good.

Reddit says curled leaves are a sign of underwater or low humidity. Mine is also doing that with one of the stems that broke when I was repotting.
