I think the answer is humidity. And is it dry? I’m not great at prayer plants.

By the way welcome to Greg. ☺️

I’ll add some extra hashtags to get it on some more radars. Hope someone can give you some more help.

Move it to a pot with drainage to start.

Healthy prayer plants or calathea need some things to stay happy. I have 8 of them and loved them!

1. No direct sunlight it’s too intense for them.

2. No temperature fluctuations, they will throw a fit. Interior walls are best they have the most stable temps. Keep away from heat/AC vents.

3. Add a pebble tray with water or humidifier for extra humidity

4. Light, preferably a grow light

5. A liquid fertilizer, they are heavy feeders so this is a must.

6. Distilled water only!! No tap water it will kill them

7. Allow to partially dry out but NOT completely. You don’t want wet soil. It you also don’t want totally dry.

They are quite picky and are notoriously hard to keep looking great, but following all of these steps will help your prayer plant flourish! πŸͺ΄
Thank you so much!
Help! Turns out I had a bad case of root rot, had to do the usual repotting and changing of soil. As it was Christmas I have to leave the plant without soil for a while. Some of the roots feel firmer but the leaves are yellowing. Can I redeem this plant
