Received this as a gift and it’s beautiful. How much light does it require?

Hi I have mine hanging in a north face window and it’s very happy and growing nice and big. To much sun can burn the leaves 😊

Prayer plants prefer bright light- but not direct ... ever. Keep it from direct light. Too much light will cause the colors to fade and the leaves to dry.

They also enjoy humidity.

Prayer plants can be dramatic. Once you find a spot it likes, don’t move it. 🙂

You didn’t ask, but I learned this the hard way: use distilled or filtered water. Prayer plants do not like tap water. It’s a beautiful plant! 🪴
