My plant’s leaves keep turning yellow and shriveling up - he was really happy when i repotted him a month ago, he’s in bright indirect light right now, isn’t overwatered, any ideas??

They like high humidity, how is the humidity where your plant is?

#### Sam antwoordde op 2023-06-28

I mist it once a week and it’s pretty humid!

oh then thats your problem prayer plants need misting every day (misting is fine as long as you make sure you do it consistently so it gets enough water) or watering once a week from the bottom that way itll soak up as much as it needs. also keep in mind that itll need extra misting on really hot days

Misting is not good for a lot of plants. It does more bad then good. It looks like not enough water, a warm draft could be hitting it or it’s getting too much sun 🤦‍♀️ I found out the hard way. What kind of water do u use?

#### Sam antwoordde op 2023-06-28

Ah yeah it’s in a pretty warm spot! And filtered water

#### JustJess antwoordde op 2023-06-29

That could be it. I had a plant that went from 100% healthy to totally dead by a warm draft I didn’t notice in 12 hours 🤦‍♀️ I was heart broken. It was huge!

Could put pebbles in the saucer and add some water (below the bottom of the pot) to increase humidity without misting the plant. Just a suggestion.
