I have a prayer plant “Kerchoveana” that’s withering at the tips of the leaves and each leaf is slowly dying. I don’t know what to do because it’s pretty small so I’m hoping to get some help!

    Check roots, always check roots—it could be over/underwatering, or root rot. Sometimes it could also be low humidity (if the leaves are crispy, not limp & mushy). A picture attached is also very helpful as well when diagnosing possible issues.

    I've had a prayer plant for probably 15 years and every year this happens during the winter. I cut off all of the plant to about 2 in of the soil. I have to be very careful because most of the time there is new growth coming up underneath. Some people only cut off the leaves as they Brown but I end up cutting the stems short. It has never failed to come back with beautiful new foliage.

    Are you watering with tap water? That or direct light that burns the leaves is usually the cause of browning tips. My calathea is putting out a ton of new leaves and the old ones browned and got chopped off. Do you see new shoots?
