How do you take care of a red prayer plant?
Place your Red Prayer Plant in bright, indirect light. Avoid putting it in direct sun—too much sun will fade the leaf colors and burn the foliage. Keep the soil consistently moist when your Prayer Plant is actively growing in spring and summer, but reduce water from fall through late winter.
How much light does a red prayer plant need?
Although prayer plant houseplant is somewhat tolerant of low light conditions, it does best in bright, indirect sunlight. The prayer plant prefers well-drained soil and requires high humidity to thrive. Prayer plant houseplants should be kept moist, but not soggy.
How big does a red prayer plant get?
It grows 12-15 inches (30-38 cm.) tall. The beautiful foliage is broadly oval and features 5-inch (13 cm.) long olive-green leaves with prominent red midribs and veining in a herringbone design.
Why is my red prayer plant dying?
Improper irrigation practices cause the foliage of the prayer plant to wilt and dry. The tropical plants thrive in slightly moist soils during the winter and evenly moist during the summer. While under-watering causes the plant to dehydrate and wilt, especially during the summer, over-watering causes root rot.
