Hello all,

Would anyone have an idea as to what I’m doing wrong, all of a sudden the leaves started getting these brown spots, anyone have any recommendations on how to fix?

These plants do not like tap water. If you’re using it, switch to distilled water or rain water and see if that helps. Good luck! It’s a beautiful plant.

Did not know that! Thank you so much!

is your tap water chlorinated? if so, i suggest filtering and treating your tap water with aquarium water conditioner to dissolve any remaining chlorines, if you can’t use rainwater. prayer plants are very sensitive to excess chemicals and minerals in their water

Or just get distilled water.

Thank you all! Will be using distilled water next time I water 💕
