Do I need a larger humidity tray for my prayer plant? This leaf was already a little wrinkly when I got the plant in the mail a couple of weeks ago, but now there’s a bit of browning and curling under.

If you have other humidity loving plants, I’d buy a humidifier. That said, if it was already browning a bit when you received it, it could just be the acclimation process. Depending on your water source, you may want to baby this plant by only using distilled water. If you have a fish tank, using that water is also a good option.

This baby only gets distilled water! I may give it more time to acclimate but will consider a humidifier if needed!
