# I’ve had both plants for over 6 months but just this week the leaves…

_Posted by kendra on 2024-02-24_

I’ve had both plants for over 6 months but just this week the leaves on both prayer plants started curling? They’ve always been on opposite sides of the house, I haven’t moved them recently or changed anything about their watering schedule?

I’m so confused about what’s causing this! 😭 Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

They also aren’t dry or developing crispy edges on the leaves, the leaves still feel completely healthy. I’m so confused 🥲

Aw poor planties. Do you have a humidifier? If not, they can be really sensitive to drops in humidity. Don’t give up on them yet though, I’ve seen people whose prayer plants have come back from worse than that. I’ve got my fingers crossed for ya!

I didn’t think about humidity at all, thank you!!

definitely check the humidity like mullein mentioned, prayer plants require higher humidity to thrive, at least 50%. has the temperature changed recently? curling leaves can be caused by a variety of things like dry air, a watering issue, or temperature stress

Yeah try to keep the humidity to 50-55 % if you are fortunate to set your humidifier to a certain percentage like mines if not that’s ok

It’s says 30 cause I had just turned it on but once it reaches to 50 it stops until it goes back down to 49 and will cut on until it’s back to 50 lol

Your humidifier looks like a computer monitor 😂 Mine has the option to choose percentage too, which I love. Although I forgot that it resets to 90% when I unplug and plug it back in 😬 Yeah I didn’t notice for probably more than 12 hours…. Luckily it wasn’t actually able to make the room go above 70% before it ran out of water. But I think it caused my lithop to die 😪
