Where are you supposed to cut a prayer plant for propagation? I have tried propagating three different leaves, but to no avail… Or am I just not waiting long enough? I gave it a month to root and it never did :( The picture I included is the prayer plant I tried to propagate, but instead of the Lemon-Lime variety, it was the Red one I tried to propagate…
Well, I learned something! Note the difference in the darkness level of the markings on my maranta. That is due to how much light the plant was getting. I didn’t know how low-light the plant’s original spot had been (due to it putting out new leaves like crazy regardless) until I tried a spot with much more light. The new leaves (formed during its time in a brighter spot) have a much more distinctive pattern. Learn from my mistake!
@planta is there a way we could get self-watering pots added to the list of containers? I have mine in an aroid mix in self-watering pots but there’s no option for that. It’s not semi-hydro as there is a medium they are growing in.
A teacher of mine asked for help! It looks like too much light to me! It also has a bug problem (It’s right at the window for reference, a full view of the sky)
My prayer plant had a really hard time this winter, but she’s finally pushing out a new leaf 😌 I love watching them unfold!
New leaves!! I also see another (not shown) lil leaf coming up!!
Is this normal for a prayer plant after repotting?
This girl has grown like CRAZY
My Calathea has recently developed a problem as her leaves have curled and are pointing downward instead of outward, I sent a picture of her former self where she looked normal. She is in a window that gets bright sun 3 to 4 hours a day, and is a foot from the window. Is she getting too much sun? She certainly is not normal right now. TIA for any help you can give me.
Help! I'm new to Calathea and I'm worried about this plant it's leaves have been fading it's lost most of the pink since I got it a little less than 2 weeks ago, it's about 8 feet from a floor to ceiling west facing window in my office, when I got it from the nursery it was soaked, it had just rained the leaves were wet and the soil was very wet I let it dry out and just watered it today, the edges of the leaves feel crispy for some of the leaves but it's just the edge of the leaves. The second photo shows the leaves curling better.
Came home after some time under grow lights and turned on the light and poof! She’s praying!!
Hi friends! 🪴 I bought this Maranta almost a month ago and it was looking a bit sad a few days later. I noticed the roots growing around the pot with no drainage, so I repotted it in a bigger pot with a drainage hole. It has been in this pot for about 2 weeks now. It is looking a lot better, but still not the best. I am in a college dorm, so lighting is tough. After a few weeks, a new pot, and many scorched leaves, I’ve found my plant has looked happiest completely across the room from the window. It has new leaves that are starting to grow, but it still won’t grow upwards like it was when I bought it. Any tips?
Hi! I got this prayer plant from my dads gf and i currently live in a dorm. i have no space and right next to my bed was the only option. i want to make sure the light is good enough since i know it likes filtered light. currently it’s 9:30am, so is this a good enough spot for the plant or should i find somewhere else? i am a south facing window so typically at the end of the day it gets a bit more sun. any tips would be appreciated 🫶🏻
From no leaves to one leaf with a few more on the way!! I’m actually surprised it bounced back so fast after the cold made everything die down to nearly the roots!!
I found a leaf with an orange spot on it. looked more burnt orange than your average brown spot. would this be something like a rust fungus? I went ahead and cut the leaf off to be on the safe side but would like to know what it is for the future.
This baby is still not happy. Bought from someone last week and it was repotted 1.5 wks ago… 🆘🙏
These little flute leaves coming in are making me so happy today!!
Hi All! I feel like I’m watering my Triostar every 4 days or so, is that a normal cadence?
How would you repot this guy??? There are lots of little stems throughout the pot and I finally got potting soil.
Do you mist your prayer plants? I just got this Triostar on Saturday!
