# I recently repotted my prayer plant and I’m noticing that some of its…

_Posted by DChaoticAlchemist on 2024-07-13_

I recently repotted my prayer plant and I’m noticing that some of its leaves are going yellow. When I repotted, I took apart the sections and ensured the roots were intact but free of dirt, I then placed them around the 12-inch pot. I used some Miracle Gro potting mix.  
The main difference is that he’s stayed near the window more often than I have before.

Any advice to help him out and prevent other leaves from yellowing?

I think people are going to come for you over your choice of potting mix (maybe not now that I called them out lol) — but beyond that I’m betting it’s just stress from the repot. They’re funny about their roots. I would try not to make any more changes for a while and let it adjust — and reevaluate in a few weeks

I borrowed the potting mix from a friend who had a huge bag. Is there another one I should try in the future?

I really love fox farm ocean forest as a good base — I add different things based on specific plants if they need extra draining or whatever it might be 😊

Mine gets a few yellow ones now and then… I wouldn’t worry too much. He’ll probably be stressed for a month or so since you’ve repotted. I’d give him some space. ☺️ fyi- When I moved mine further from the window, he flourished. 🌿

I tend to move him from next to the window to the other side of the room depending on my mood lol  
Thank you!

Mine did the same thing when I repotted it, lost a couple leaves but then it was fine. 😊
