Prayer plant is a master of movement. Its glorious patterned leaves move throughout the day depending on the light. It will stretch out to make the most of the bright rays of sun absorbing everything it can then fold back up in the evening as the sun fades for the night. It’s usual patterned leaves are something to be admired with a deep green base and bright green design on top with a kick of red purple to through you off. Some leave will grow up however this is a trailing plant. Which should be admired for its unique growth pattern.
Pot size 12cm Height 20-30cm
Care
☀️ Sunlight ☀️
This plant thrives with bright indirect sunlight however, will still be happy away from a window in the middle of the room.
💧Watering 💧
Prefers a moist soil. Don’t let it get swampy or it will get root rot! When you notice the top layers of soil drying out it’s time to water. For this we recommend removing the plant from its decorative pot and placing it in the sink or bowl. We like to poor a bit of water over the top to dampen that dry soil then letting it sit in some water for approximately 30mins to soak up anything it needs. Then allowing all the water to drain fully before returning it to its home.
🪴 Soil 🪴
The best soil for this plant is a chunky well draining mix. We recommend using a combination of wood chips, perlite, house plant soil and worm castings. The best time to repot is either when you first get your plant or when it needs a pot upgrade, this could be the same time! If you are looking to repot your plant because it’s current one is to small. You will need a draining pot 2-4in bigger than its current pot.

Cut Flowers Care
Avoid putting vases in the dishwasher as salt deposits can kill flowers.
Bleach vases to destroy bacteria.
No need for flower food (as it can also help grow bacteria) just keep the water clean.
Cut stems diagonally to increase the stem surface area so the flowers drink more.
Keep leaves above the water line to avoid them decaying in the water and shortening the life of your flowers.
Keep flowers in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Replace water and re-cut the stems regularly.
