Help. What is happening to my prayer plant? It looked great last week. The only change is that I moved it about a foot closer to the window. It is a west facing window.

These guys are SUPER picky about light! Be careful with how close it is to the window.

Yes it might have preferred the lighting where it was. Also, they only like filtered, distilled or conditioned water. And just the right amount and frequency of it lol.

Thank you both. Now I just need to figure out the perfect amount of water and sun lol

The west sun is to strong for it. They like a medium light. So not to bright.

yellowing, browning, and curling on the leaves are definitely indicators that he's getting too much light. prayer plants hate direct sun and need to be pulled back from west or south facing windows.
