# Hi Planta Peeps: Here is this beautiful praying plant and I stopped…

_Posted by PSol on 2024-07-28_

Hi Planta Peeps:  
Here is this beautiful praying plant and I stopped moving it daily outside because I was told I could be stressing it but the leaves are still burning and curling more and more. 😭💔 I also changed the fertilizer to a gentle organic one (pellets, slow release). It does have two new leaves coming in, YAY! Anything else I should do?

Looks like a tap water or humidity problem I use aquarium water conditioner (api stress coat) in my tap water for the fussy plants and a humidity tray that I fill with boiling water from a kettle every so often to keep the humidity up

I use distilled water, I’ve never used tap. I do have a humidifier but it shuts off frequently! Ughhh! Have to try and pay more attention to it
