Hello!  
I’ve just got this rescue prayer plant. I think it’s a wishbone. I have a baby one who is living its best life but would like to know any tips for bringing this new one back to a healthy life. I just got her from my great grandmother who had a tendency to cut off leaves, even if they were healthy, just cus they got in her way. (She’s in her late 90s so please excuse her) So this plant hasn’t had the best life. Any tips are appreciated!!

Wow, she’s beautiful!  
Heirloom plants are so special, congrats.

I have no tips, unfortunately! I’m new to Calatheas, but I hope we both figure out their best care soon! Good luck :)

A lot of the leaves still look really good. I would pull off anything that is brown. Cut off any of the leaves that don’t look so good.

Check planta’s advice for repotting?
