My lemon lime prayer plant is closing its leaves early (when the sun is still out) is this normal or is it getting too much sun? It is in an east facing window and gets sun from around 6am to 8pm (14 ish hours). ???

Mine gets 16 hours under a grow light, so I wouldn’t worry.

They’re on their own journey 😂 sometimes early sometimes late. She’s sassy n does what she wants

I’m happy to see the other comments. I brought one back last year. It’s putting out new leaves like crazy but they are all over the place! It only had 2 leaves when I started with it. It tends to be growing out sideways. I’m hoping it will start going up.
