Growing Guide

Position

Place in bright, indirect light where the foliage is protected from strong direct sunshine. It tolerates lower light levels but develops the best leaf colour and healthiest growth in bright filtered light.

Watering

Keep the compost evenly moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. Water when the surface begins to dry slightly and reduce watering during winter while preventing the compost from drying out completely. Rainwater or filtered water can help minimise leaf edge browning where tap water is particularly hard.

Compost

Grow in a moisture-retentive but free-draining houseplant compost. Choose a pot with drainage holes and repot every few years as the plant grows.

Temperature and Humidity

Maintain temperatures between 18–24°C and protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C. Higher humidity encourages healthy foliage, making this plant ideal for kitchens, bathrooms or rooms with additional humidity.

Routine Care

Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as they appear and wipe the foliage occasionally to remove dust. Feed monthly with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer to support healthy new growth.

Perfect For

• Living rooms and bedrooms.
• Home offices.
• Shelves and plant stands.
• Bathrooms with natural light.
• Tropical houseplant collections.

Good to Know

Prayer Plants are renowned for their daily leaf movement, known as nyctinasty, where the leaves gently fold upwards in the evening and reopen in daylight. This natural behaviour is a sign of a healthy plant and adds to its unique appeal.
