Hi plenty peeps 👋🏽 I recently got this plant and he is not happy. I’ve never had one of these before so I’m hoping to learn from some of you who have had one. It was a Lowe’s rescue and half dead when I got it but it’s worse now. Any tips of helping it bounce back? Thank you!

do you use chlorinated tap water for this plant? if so i’d recommend filtering and treating your tap water first with some aquarium water conditioner. i use that or rainwater but many people will recommend distilled water as well. prayer plants are really sensitive to excess chemicals and minerals in their soil so the purer the water the better; i’d recommend flushing the soil thoroughly once the top 1/2” or so has dried

Thank you! I do use filtered water but I may try your conditioning suggestion too

I totally agree with Plant Father about the plant’s sensitivity to the chemicals in tap water.

The pot may be too big and holding more water than the plant can use. This could be causing the damages on the leaves. The new pot should only be 1 inch to 2 inches wider than the previous pot when repotting. I recommend repotting to a smaller size pot that is just wider than the root ball diameter.

Thank you! I may try to downsize him and see if that helps
