Two plants struggling - any ideas?

Good morning everyone - hoping I can get some help. I have two plants who aren’t thriving and I don’t know what to do. The #maranta #PrayerPlant is in my shower which has a window. She is a slow grower and I’ve begged her for a few years to just be happy. I water when she’s getting dry but she doesn’t stay wet. She’s first photo.

Then I have this massive #StringOfTurtles #StringLoversTogether which is under a grow light and flowers like crazy. But the coloring on the top looks a bit bleached and overwatered. But I wait until it’s dry!!!! Agh

I think it is a matter of trying to find a happy balance for these guys, but I am about ready to get rid of them because I cannot keep making special plant areas in my house 🀣 I’m outta room, yall! Help! οΏΌ

The strings may just need a shot of fertilizer flowering takes alot of energy for most plants and they do love to flowerπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
Out of room says it all! One cannot make room for all of your plants if there is no room for them to grow happily! I had a plant that was doing poorly! A seasoned house plant gardener suggested that I add a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to an 8 ounce glass of water ! This worked miracles for me honestly!!
