Hey, so my prayer plant was thriving about a week ago. There’s 3 brand new leaves that look normal. However, there’s some weird discoloration on some older ones? I think it may be the light. I moved it back to my window, from a grow light, that gets indirect light and that’s when it went from one leaf at a time to 3. It only gets direct like from like sunrise to about 7:30 am then gets bright indirect. I follow the app for watering and fertilizing. I’m just wondering if anyone knows what’s goin on with the leaves. These are the only two it’s happening on.

Leaf got sun burns?

Possible overwatering? Planta app doesn’t always have the most accurate schedule. Water when dry

Could be it actually! Should I pay attention to when the top layer is dryer?

Definitely. I would stick a finger—or something like a chopstick— if that inch is still moist, leave it for another cycle.
