I've messed with my prayer plant far too much over the last few years, and I've only myself to blame. Plants are patient; I am not. So, while I hoped by now to have a whole family of them, I have only one.
Still, it's a healthy specimen - it wasn't, four months ago, believe you me - and that's due entirely to its own efforts, and to my leaving it alone. That's today's lesson, friends: leave plants alone. Water them when they're dry, using the "finger method" of sticking your index finger into the soil about 2 inches deep and only if feels dry all the way down, adding any more water; look up some information about what sort of light and heat levels they prefer, and position accordingly - and that's it. (Prayer Plands prefer indirect sunlight and ordinary room temperature). Wait for them to really establish themselves before attempting any propagation. They'll thank you for it in the long run.
