My friend has these prayer plants that have been struggling for a while. Any insights?

They’re sensitive to lime. So if you use distilled or rainwater might help. Softened or spring water doesn’t help because it has mineral salts. Might make sure potting soil is for tropical plants or something that’s acidic. They close at night to conserve moisture loss from leaves. Maybe they’re not getting enough indirect light like near a window with sheer curtains. They’re a bit fussy but there are ‘more info’ tabs on info pages for Calathea plants (same stuff applies) toward bottom of page

They also need indirect light or part sun part shade. They cannot thrive in full sun as these grow at tropical floor

0개 좋아요They open and fold their leaves throughout the day- thus hands in prayer—> prayer plant. Do these containers have drainage? What’s your watering schedule?
