BEH

This one is always droopy in the morning and perky in the afternoon. Could it be getting too much morning light? It’s about 4-5ft away from a window.

    It appears to be a prayer plant? Prayer plants are known for their nyctinasty. Nyctinasty is the scientific term used to describe plants that have a day-night cycle, much like humans sleeping. The leaves naturally raise and lower to adjust to the light, it is a sign of a healthy plant!

      I had to wait for nighttime, but this is an example of my goeppertia makoyana when it is “praying”. During the day, the leaves will be parallel to the ground
