6" red prayer

Light & Temperature

Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves of the prayer plant and can quickly kill the plant. It prefers bright but indirect sunlight during the day and is generally tolerant of lower light areas, as long as there is good air flow.

Water & Humidity

To grow prayer plant best, realize they do not like to be dry. Keep the soil evenly moist all of the time, but never let the roots get soggy. When watering, use water that is at least at room temperature if not slightly warm.

In the winter months, reduce watering as a dry cold winter causes prayer plant to go dormant and it will need less water to grow well.

Soil

A general purpose houseplant potting soil can be used, so long as it is well-draining.
