# I’m a fairly new plant mom and picked up this rehab project. I know…

_Posted by Kiara on 2023-06-16_

I’m a fairly new plant mom and picked up this rehab project. I know this is probably the last plant I should be trying to save with my limited experience but she’s so pretty. It was in a tiny pot so I gave it a new one and some water and have pretty much just left it alone since then. Any tips I should know if I have any hope of saving it? It’s grown 2 new leaves since it came home but it’s so droopy and just doesn’t seem as happy as it could be.

Prayer plants will very quickly point their leaves towards the light. The stems look pretty healthy as well as most of the leaves. So, to me it just looks like it’s trying to absorb as much light as possible (not that it’s not getting enough) so there might be nothing to worry about!

I have had one of these for some time now, they do seem to change leaf position drastically depending on the time of day (amount of light) but it’s normal for them and may not be water related at all
