Does this look like too much light rather than overwatering on my prayer plant?

are the leaves or stems mushy or soft? or is the damage crispy?

#### Sarah replied on 2025-11-03

A bit thin and crispy. Which makes sense because I recently moved it to this other window. Might have to move it back to its first location.

#### plantgeek replied on 2025-11-03

yeah, sounds like sun damage. move it back

So I have had 3 of these plants. They are fickle and fiesty. Mine would turn yellow, If I moved it. It only liked a peticular spot. They like to be moist, high humidity and bright indirect light. Plus, they thrive in distilled/filtered/rain water. Tap water can cause their leaves to turn yellow. For me, this has been one of my punk plants to care for
