I’m not sure, but prayer plants do very well with distilled water, filtered water or conditioned water. You can get fish tank water conditioning and add a few drops to tap water. They like indirect morning sunlight.

I am just enabling you to buy more plants, but I swear they like company. It does increase the humidity which helps them. Here is my Mantis next to Calista. Mantis has tiny flowers!
