My Prayer Plant is a beaut! I just wonder if they climb like other house plants or if I just need to trim it? Any advice on if I could Velcro her to a climbing post or just trim the ends???

I’m not an expert but mine trails and doesn’t really climb. I doubt you could Velcro it because it moves everyday when the sun goes down. Now that mine is large it moves quite a bit!! I actually just moved it to a hanging plant because in a normal pot it was kind of manspreading. lol.

They love to dangle but they are naturally ground trailers that grow horizontally. They dont have arial roots and wont climb but you could very gentally start training it to grow up if you attached it to a tall support trellis. Keep the ties a bit loose. You will always have to keep it supported to stay up.
