Prayer Plant Calathea 'Beauty Star'- 4in Pot

The prayer plant is a relatively low-maintenance plant that is easy to care for, making it a great choice for beginners. With the right care, it can thrive and add some natural beauty to your home or office.

Care

Light: Prayer plants prefer bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves. If you keep them in a low-light environment, they won't thrive as much.

Watering: Prayer plants like their soil to be moist but not waterlogged. Water them thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It's important not to let them sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

Soil: Prayer plants prefer a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and compost works well.

Fertilization: Fertilize your prayer plant every two to four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce fertilization during the fall and winter.

Humidity: Prayer plants prefer high humidity. You can increase humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water nearby or by using a humidifier.

Temperature: Prayer plants prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-26°C). They can't tolerate temperatures below 55°F (13°C) or above 90°F (32°C).

Propagation: Prayer plants can be propagated by division or stem cuttings. To propagate by division, gently remove the plant from its pot and carefully separate the roots into two or more sections. To propagate by stem cuttings, take a cutting from the plant's stem, remove the bottom leaves, and place it in a pot of moist soil.
