it might be getting rootbound. I’d take it out and check out the roots, definitely repot and see if it perks up

I would avoid repotting unless absolutely necessary - no need to stress the plant out for nothing :) Have you checked for pests, environmental changes, watering, last time fertilized (over fertilization can hurt a plant more than under haha) etc? Fwiw I can’t tell if anything’s wrong from the picture, it looks pretty alright to me!

If you like watching videos about plants there’s this really useful one I found from Aloha Plant Life on YouTube about prayer plants in general (Calatheas/goeppertias, marantas, ctanthes etc) . I’ve found incredibly helpful for learning about and troubleshooting any issues these guys! Good luck 🌱💚

Thanks. I was trying to get it at a hood angle, but see I didn’t stoop down enough.
