  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves and fade colors. Can tolerate lower light but may lose some vibrancy.
  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater as prayer plants are sensitive to minerals and chemicals in tap water, which can cause leaf tip browning.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier.
  • Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (65-80°F / 18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts.
  • Soil: Requires well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix.
  • Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets and humans.
