Your rescued prayer plant has a shallow root system that rots easily in larger pots. Hide the ugly plastic pot by placing it inside a decorative clay pot of the same size.
Keep soil evenly moist. Water as soon as the surface feels barely dry. NYC tap water is fine—no need to worry about hard water damage.
Bright, indirect light only. North windowsill is ideal; east window if kept out of direct morning sun. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 65°F.
Extra humidity needed in winter when heating dries the air. Use a humidifier or pebble tray—misting doesn't help.
Half-strength, once monthly, only when plant is healthy and growing vigorously.
Trim discolored leaves and prune long, leafless stems to encourage fuller growth. Recovery takes months—be patient.
