# The leaves on my prayer plant are starting to roll and I have a stick…

_Geplaatst door Cylie op 2025-05-03_

The leaves on my prayer plant are starting to roll and I have a stick supporting it as it won’t stand up by itself. The app says it’s because it needs more light so I moved it closer to the edge of my porch. Any suggestions on how to keep her alive?

Mine likes to trail over the edge of the pot so I think that’s pretty normal. They like a lot of humidity and distilled water too. Leaves start to curl on mine when the humidity is low or needs a drink

It’s probably the humidity, my plant display is outside

When the leaves keep curling it’s a humidity issue or a sign of dehydration. I would suggest putting a humidifier on the plant or sitting it on a pebble tray. They need temperatures between 60 degrees or more..However they curl their leaves up naturally at night so it may just be the cycle.

My prayer plant leaves don't really curl at night. they just go more upright

Humidity is probably my issue because I have it outside

The leaves Will roll if it's too wet or too dry or not humid enough or too cold!

I don’t think it’s humid enough outside where I have it
