First photo is when I first got my prayer plant and then now. I’ve repotted it in this pot where I can water it on the side. Also mixed in some cactus soil with the original soil. Any tips? I don’t feel like she’s thriving since I’ve gotten her.

They thrive on humidity and are really sensitive to tap water. I use rain water or distilled in the winter, a pebble tray and humidifier when it gets below 70% humidity. They’re a bit dramatic but worth it once they are happy!

Is it getting the right amount of sunlight?
