I’ve never had much success with these pretty prayer plants. ![Anhang 1 von 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/3q1EezzSIXK3J02mDg9m-iP-h2JHaLGgjJOhJDA14ag/Ef7p5-olR2OCa5Hvz2H8Aw.webp?size=large) ## 19 Kommentare ### Lynda kommentierte am 2024-06-30 Is she overwatered, underwatered? … These plants are pretty fussy, anything could be a problem for her! Let’s see what advice others give you. Good luck! 😊💚🪴 #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-01 Potentially over. I bought her from Safeway recently ### Lynda kommentierte am 2024-06-30 Also, have you checked her roots? #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-01 No but I will do so ### Maddie kommentierte am 2024-06-30 Is she getting enough sunlight? How long has she been on a watering schedule? #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-01 Good sun for half of the day. I only bought her a week ago so she just getting started #### Lynda antwortete am 2024-07-01 Since these plants are so darn fussy, maybe she’s just having a fit because she’s in a new space, etc. You know, your plant is like the princess and the pea; she feels everything! If you’ve only had her for a week or so, perhaps just giving her some time to adjust to everything new, may be the right answer! Regards. 😊💚🪴 ### Lynda kommentierte am 2024-07-01 But if you think there’s possibly an overwatering issue, be sure to check her roots for rot! Hope she does better. 😊💚🪴 #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-01 Guess what, I moved her to the kitchen, by the sink. This is where I put my plants in distress so I see them frequently and I’m reminded to keep a close eye on them. She has perked halfway up already! I think maybe she didn’t like being by all the other plants and wants to shine on her own :) ![Anhang 1 von 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/3q1EezzSIXK3J02mDg9m-iP-h2JHaLGgjJOhJDA14ag/RIg8XiskQRun64Up_w-TJg.webp?size=large) #### Lynda antwortete am 2024-07-01 I told ‘ya! She’s just a pill and a half… typical of prayer plants. Hope she continues on the straight, narrow, but I doubt it; there’s always something for these fussy ladies to complain about! 😉 Regards. 😊💚🪴 #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-01 Maybe I’ll move my other one. She’s perky enough but forever having yellow edges (can’t tell from the pic cuz I’m always trimming them off) ![Anhang 1 von 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/3q1EezzSIXK3J02mDg9m-iP-h2JHaLGgjJOhJDA14ag/TmpwLe_ZT8KcJSMv4mPvMA.webp?size=large) ### LilliOrlandi kommentierte am 2024-07-01 Prayer Plants are SO dramatic! I found that mine did best in our bathroom windowsill. That way if I under- watered, it would still soak up the moisture/steam from showering. #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-01 Nice trick! They are finicky. I got the one last pictured because my step mom was done fighting the battle lol #### Lynda antwortete am 2024-07-01 Prayer plants… If you don’t love ‘em, you got to hate ‘em, right?! 🤪 P.S. But it’s so much nicer, loving them, isn’t it?! 😉 ### Mzjenny kommentierte am 2024-07-01 They always look so sad in the day time. Night time is when they pray … they love humidity. #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-01 Ah! You’re right, back to slightly droopy compared to last night but nothing like the original pics she much likes the kitchen (20 ft from morning sunny window) ![Anhang 1 von 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/3q1EezzSIXK3J02mDg9m-iP-h2JHaLGgjJOhJDA14ag/aAxhm-3rTyCXBJ7Uhqr-bg.webp?size=large) ### Lynda kommentierte am 2024-07-02 My prayer plant was on the dining room table, which Planta said was fine, however, she definitely didn’t like it; her leaves would really droop. One day I moved her to the kitchen island because I was using the dining room table and, lo and behold, her arms flew right up in the air, so beautiful! And that was a site that Planta said was not good for her…hmmm. So, she now lives on the kitchen island and she appears to be supremely happy! Go figure…😊💚🪴 #### Cait2k3 antwortete am 2024-07-02 So weird right. I don’t trust plantas site recommendations so much (esp watering) bc my monstera did better in my dark hallway then anywhere else lol #### Lynda antwortete am 2024-07-02 Agreed! 😊💚🪴 --- _Die Planta-Community (https://getplanta.com).
