Why are my stems drooping?
#FishbonePrayerPlant My prayer plant has always been quite droopy but recently has just taken it to a new levelβ¦ Iβve recently moved house and since being in a warmer room she has been putting out new leaves and looking much healthier, but still so droopy! WHYβ¦ Any advice appreciated :))

Hi, Plantz! I'm glad you're on Greg! (:
Prayer plants are movers and shakers! They are constantly moving throughout the day. At night when the sun goes down, the leaves go up. During the day when the sun is up, the leaves go down to get as much sunlight as possible. Their little leaves are solar panels that are reaching for the sunlight, unless they are resting (praying). οΏΌ

@sarahsalith she moves a bit, but sheβs never stood uprightβ¦ always this quite sad flop! Is there anything I can do to get her taller or shall I just leave be? Thanks!
Nope- but that picture is PERFECT! It's a type of #Calathea and the reason it is floppy is because of its pot. That plant will be happier in a plastic or glazed ceramic pot that holds moisture better.
Terracotta wicks away the moisture and keeps the soil on the dry side.
To perk up your plant, you'll need to up your watering game. (:
