Does adding fertilizer make prayer plants stop praying?

My prayer plants are fine but have stopped praying ever since I’ve fertilized them a couple weeks ago. Is this normal?

@RamenLechuga fertilizer helps your plants I don’t see what adding fertilizer would make them stop praying.

The most common reasons your Prayer Plant stops moving and praying include too much or too little light, the potting mix getting too dry, or a reaction to shock. It could also be a combination of a couple of these.

Fertilizer. Fertilize your prayer plant every two weeks from early spring through fall (reducing to once a month in winter) with a water-soluble houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength. If you use too little fertilizer, your plant will grow slowly or hardly at all.
@KikisOasis thank you! I’ll try giving them less light and pulling them back from a east window to see what happens
@RamenLechuga you are so very welcome.
