This is my prayer plant that I inherited from my nanny after she passed away. I am very new to plant care and I am a bit concerned about the brown bits on the tips of some of the leaves. Any help/advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    Not enough humidity, I keep mine in the bathroom, when I bought mine it was attached to a moss pole to train to grow up instead of out, they are natural creepers and with it being a prayer plant the leaves will move with the sun

    In my experience they need to be watered with only filtered, distilled or conditioned water by adding a few drops of fish tank water conditioner.

    I'm in the UK and the fish tank dechlorinator, and since I started using It the new leaves aren't getting the brown tips. 😁😁😁

      That’s what I do. I add five drops of fish tank conditioner to my filtered water. My calathea are flourishing.

    This might be too late but - I recently heard that if the tips of prayer plants are browning it could be from your water! The water traveled all the way to the tips and if there’s too much mineral build up it can do this!!
