It could be dehydrated or root bound

### Mekare comentó el 2025-05-08

Thank you for asking this. Mine is doing the same. Based on user123's comment I'm going to check the roots tomorrow.

How is it?

#### Mekare respondió el 2025-05-08

Meh. Not bad. I'm trying to find out what to do about her leaves pointing down but no luck yet.

She stays like that even with light directly above her, even with humidity.

How's yours?

### Kate comentó el 2025-05-08

Not an expert at all. But that plant. Looks pretty decent to me. Those aren’t new leaves coming in are they?? They do curl like that as they are coming in? That’s what it looks like to me but maybe you are watching them curl up. ?! ✨✨

She looks healthy to me. The curled leaf is a new one sprouting. Looks like it wants to make flowers for ya too! Here’s a pic of mine. I love it so much I have 4 different prayer plants. And don’t let anyone tell you they don’t like light. Mine is in a west facing window and gets plenty of light.

My plant is uncurling lol! They’re growing more leaves this is so much fun

### K. Alexandra comentó el 2025-05-09

When there’s no light on it, the leaves go down. Looks like the day is overcast? When light is on it, the leaves move up. That’s why it’s called a prayer plant.

Now if it’s always like that, it could be overwatering or underwatering. They are a little sensitive but can be hardy plants. The soil does look a bit wet in your other pic so, I’d hold off on watering for a bit, and it it dry out.
