Happy Monday! I took a cutting from my mom’s prayer plan...

Happy Monday!

I took a cutting from my mom’s prayer plant that was dead. Basically the only cutting with some life left.

I stuck her in some water…. We have roots and 3 new leaves :)

The prayer plant lives on 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Have a wonderful Monday.

Awesome! It's beautiful!
@Drebsky That prayer plant is very much alive! 🙌 Are you familiar with them? In the same family as calatheas (now Goeppertia) and they’re lovely. I have many varieties 🥰

Please forgive me if you know this already 🙏 The maranta leuconeura such as the one you have likes very little fertilizer and as little chemicals and minerals as possible in their water. If you have even remotely hard tap, it’s safest to go with distilled or rainwater only. They like high humidity, and do not like harsh direct sunlight, as they are forest floor dwellers. I do give mine some east morning sun, but in my house they are happiest in my ‘lower’ light areas (and by that I mean low light to a maranta, not low light to a human 😜)
@DreamMachine Nadia thank you so much for your awesome insight, as always! Your plants are beautiful.

I am not familiar with prayer plants so I will definitely take your advice.

The cutting that I took and got to root was very much alive, yes- however the mother plant that it was taken from was completely dead. This was the only living stem on the entire plant, which I assume means I just happened to find it before it died and the whole plant was lost.

Put I think I saved her 🤷‍♂️ I would like to think so at least 😂

Hope your doing well my friend :)
