About Prayer Plant 'Maui Queen'
Many of the houseplants we used to know as Calatheas now belong to the genus Goeppertia (say that three times fast). These plants have delightfully patterned leaves that come in all sorts of colors and shapes! Commonly known as prayer plants, the leaves of some species fold up at night through a process called nyctinasty meaning night movement! 😴

Hello you all🤗 #thewateringhole Just announcing that Millie is flowering again (last time was September), with 4 flower-stalks😱 They are not much, and not really noticable under her gorgeous foliage (you do have to search for them😅). But considering these are supposed to be rare bloomers it is in truth a win💪 She is now 4 years old and mother of 6 and grandmother of 2😆👵 #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #floweringplants #flowerpower #plantaddict #calatheacrew #calatheacathedralwindows #goeppertia

I just got my plant and I noticed that the leaves are curling. Is that normal? #PinstripePlant

What's wrong with my plant? I found her on the street last year and she did not look good back then but she keeps getting worse and her new leaf also starts to get brown. What can I do to save her? Does she need more/less sun? Right now she's next to the window where she also receives some direkt sun in the morning.

Orbifolia yellowing My beloved Orbifolia is getting yellowing on its leaves. I just gave him a grow light, and he’s in a self watering terracotta pot. Any advice?

New plant baby 🥹 Thanks #GregPlantShop for this ABSOLUELY STUNNING calathea! I’ve been too afraid to get one but always wanted one. I’m a sucker for the green-red plants lol. I felt ready to accept the challenge of having a calathea and my gosh I probably won’t, but, I hope I can keep her as stunning as she arrived, I thought it was a fake plant at first! 😂 I know these guys can be totally befuddling but if you have any solid tips, let me know!! 😍 She’s in our kitchen/dining room window for now! #Calathea #PrayerPlant #NewPlantMom

Repotting an elderly plant y/n Hi folks; my Cloris has been going along in this glazed-clay pot for 4-5 years now. She's not visibly suffering, but she's not visibly thriving either; I suspect the soil is *extremely* depleted at this point despite the usual watering / misting / fertilization routine. Normally I wouldn't hesitate to repot, but we're talking a seven-year-old plant of a species that isn't *that* long-lived. Thoughts? Is it worth the potential system shock to get her into a fresh setup, or best to stick with routine / pallative care from here on out?

Needs a lot of humidity and prefers distilled water instead of tap. Will likely brown edges without the two. Enjoy watching the leaves fluctuate throughout the day.

Despite being a calathea, it hasn’t self-amputated 50% of its body yet. Tips brown easily but leaves aren’t dropping. The rise and fall of leaves in its daily cycle are more noticeable than most of my calathea, which I really enjoy - makes me feel like it’s putting in a little work

What can I say - it’s a calathea. A little more dramatic than some, but not the most dramatic one I’ve had. I wouldn’t call it a beginner plant.

I don’t even know where to start. This plant was beautiful and I immediately fell in love however she just wasn’t enjoying my environment. So I cut all weak and dying leaves thinking oh well. Well I’m her own time she gave me 4 new leaves so I guess I’ll keep her and continue to watch her grow and mature. Getting the light vs water down was a task for me. But set her and leave her alone seemed to be ideal. I’m guessing the new foliage will acclimate better to my environment.
