Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Prayer Plants prefer an evenly moist, aerated soil mix and a humid environment. Placing a humidifier or pebble tray with water near the plant will help with this. Bright, indirect light is ideal, avoiding direct, scorching sun rays. Some light is needed to keep this plant compact and to avoid stretching. Protect from frost!
