# I have this calathea prayer plant and it seems she hasn’t been happy…

_Geplaatst door VeggieEllie op 2024-06-07_

I have this calathea prayer plant and it seems she hasn’t been happy for a while. She’s lived in several locations … in light, in dark, high humidity, low humidity. She’s recently been repotted because she has grown but doesn’t seem to be thriving… any advice???

In the wild, they grow on the rainforest floor. So indirect light and very high humidity.

When they’re moved to a new spot, it takes a while for them to get re-established. That’s the hardest part about plants for me lol, it’s a waiting game

Calatheas are sensitive to minerals in water, so it’s better to use filtered and distilled water especially if you have hard water where you live.

Looks like too much light

Tidy up the foliage and remove anything unsightly ! Brown dead edges, old spent chutes, and old leaves.  
They are very sassy and love being misted multiple times a day WITH a humidifier going  
But also very sensitive to overwatering at the roots  
Very sassy
