Is that a whole stem dying off? And is that a Shiba Inu in the background? 👀👀

#### Luke svarede den 2024-06-28

lol yes that’s a Shiba Inu! And no - that’s new growth but it’s trash!

#### Elle Woods svarede den 2024-06-28

Oh my yay!! Is it a boy?? Don’t think me like a weirdo but I’m looking for a husband for my girl Shiba because I want her to have babies and it’s been so hard 😏

#### Luke svarede den 2024-06-29

Alas, she’s a very feisty lady, not to my knowledge able to sire pups. (She’s also not mine, we’re dog sitting for a friend…)

#### Elle Woods svarede den 2024-06-30

Looks like overwatering to me. Definitely check the roots for anything mushy

#### Luke svarede den 2024-06-28

I’ve been putting this off but no more!

### S.R kommenterede den 2024-06-28

That nonsense is what I’ve come to expect from prayer plants and their ilk 😤

#### Luke svarede den 2024-06-28

So rude! 😤

### Tee Jay kommenterede den 2024-06-28

Spider mites? My marantas look like this often 🫠

Are you watering with distilled water or rain water? Prayer plants are sensitive to lime, so they cant have tap water. I have also found that my prayer plant does best growing in water rather than soil. I would honestly cut off all the dead stems (even if that leaves you with a stump) and check + clean your roots. Either repot in a less dense soil that has more aeration, or try growing in water. Hope this helps!

#### Luke svarede den 2024-06-28

Filtered but not distilled!

#### em-milleranglin svarede den 2024-06-28

Yeah unfortunately filtered water still won’t be safe for this guy. Next time it rains, set out a few tupperware or cups and store the collected rainwater in a container with a lid. I did this so I don’t have to buy distilled water!

I use bottled water for mine (I have three). I my lemon lime started doing this last winter and was down to 4 leaves, it’s bouncing back and growing new leaves now. I also started using a water conditioner. I’m testing it on my healthier ones and they seem to like it.

i highly recommend this product or a similar water conditioner like seachem prime, it will make filtered water safe for prayer plants. plus at around $7 it is significantly cheaper and more environmentally friendly than distilled water
