Lol me too. I even smiled when she said "this is Laura"😂😂

[@mimibaw]

same lol

[@brooke5258]

I hadn't thought of putting of putting pebbles in a dish. Nice tip.

[@sillymamma8937]

thanks! Prayer plants are my favorite. I like to root a cutting and have one more prayer plant every now and then. Just wish I could find one of the other kinds so I could have a variety around the house.

[@phillipowens7711]

Can you water your plants from rain water or water from a freshwater aquarium

[@JG24AJ]

Thank you so much, very informative on need to know how's & the to-do s. I love this!!!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really enjoyed watching you.

[@GertaLind]

OMG THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO! Thank you!

[@barneymiller6204]

I question how minerals and salt in tap water 'evaporate'. Is it not that water evaporates and leaves the salts behind?

[@annabughman1886]

It’s really the chlorine from treatment that evaporates and is safer for the plant.

[@kossy67]

Exactly!! If she is able to do this easy error, now it's hard to truss her for the other informations in this video...

[@lukeallison88]

Yeah she meant chlorine, and that often doesn’t evaporate either

[@aaronsmylie3317]

Great advice. Thank you for the video

[@ThriveGarden]

Awesome!

[@RavenVapor873]

Nice video 🎯💜‼️🌿 Thanks 😘

[@ganguroangel]

That was a great video, thanks ! I'm actually struggling with my maranta. Everytime she pop up a new leaf, an older one gets pushed out. I think she suffered from low humidity and to much heat I already checked for pests, she's good Anyway, I changed her environment and hope this is enough for her to get better and thrives

[@debmccleary9857]

Mine is very happy I guess(it's blooming little white flowers).😃😻😍🥰

[@kathycasey9521]

This is a great video, and I am wondering if my plant is actually a prayer plant. My pot is filled with little plants so that I can’t even find the soil. It is nothing like growing a philodendron. I need to do some more research.

[@petrahailemariam9332]

Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to ask you if you cut off brown pieces on the stem, where leaves come out on prayer plants?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Any brown or damaged stems can be removed from prayer plants. New stems and leaves will be formed from the root system.

[@petrahailemariam9332]

@@Gardeningknowhow Thank you

[@rjeezy891]

I have a question about the prayer plant Can you put pebbles underneath the plant do you have to take off the saucer that goes on the bottom of the plant or can you keep it on

[@Gardeningknowhow]

To create a more humid environment, I would suggest to add a layer of pebbles atop the saucer, add a bit of water, then place the plant in it's pot on the top of the pebbles.

[@rjeezy891]

@@Gardeningknowhow So let me get this straight are you saying that I can keep my saucer on but put pebbles at the bottom But just add water to the pebbles I'm just trying to get clarification

[@rjeezy891]

@@Gardeningknowhow Can you do a video or send me a picture to see how would it look like

[@Gardeningknowhow]

While the linked video does pertain to orchids, the information would be identical for any other houseplant that prefers a humid environment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rV6tc6RoYrJmpJosi=7AxOV43P7IuTRAGn (skip to 3:18)

[@rjeezy891]

Thank you so I noticed that The video that you sent me they didn't have the saucer on the bottom so I guess I would do is is remove the bottom Saucer From the plant When I do this

[@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers]

Hi. Great video. I’m following all of your instructions but am still getting some yellowing leaves. Is there anything else I can check or try? Thanks.

[@Gardeningknowhow]

We suggest moving your plant to a location with indirect light (especially if it is receiving too much light) and begin watering with purified water. A dose of liquid iron fertilizer mixed per package directions can help correct the possibility of chlorosis. It could also be time to repot. 🌿

[@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers]

@@Gardeningknowhow Thanks.

[@timeismichael]

Can I just start out with a big pot in the first place?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

That is not suggested. Prayer plants actually thrive in pots that are just larger than their root ball.

[@PureBlood42]

Great video! I've got the common red-veined variety. How big can I expect my plant to get in several years?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

They have a slow growth rate and tend to stay more on the smaller side. They usually only require repotting every 2-3 years.

[@PureBlood42]

@Gardening Know How ~ Thank You for your reply!

[@ivybrooks7963]

I just did this but I forgot to loosen the roots 😭 should I take it out and do it again? The soil is wet now

[@Gardeningknowhow]

If the plant was severely root bound, I would suggest to pull it back out and loosen the root system.

[@pattybolivarleon3251]

Should I leave my hanging? I have a guide for her to grow up, but I don’t don’t if this is unnatural for her? Thanks for the video!

[@Gardeningknowhow]

They spread naturally, so leaving it hanging is perfectly acceptable! 🌿✨

[@krishnapandya7319]

Can we tie prayer plant with rope ?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Prayer plants don’t have climbing abilities, so I recommend using a houseplant support cage or a small metal trellis to provide support for the plant.

[@ritaburt7462]

My plant looks terrible in that the edges are all brown. It has bloomed at times and is growing well except for the large ugly brown edges. I use spring water, and it doesn't help. The leaves eventually turn brown on the edges. Please help.😢

[@Gardeningknowhow]

This is a very common problem, unfortunately. The issue could be related to watering, excessive sunlight, insufficient humidity, excess salts, and more. I am going to link a page from our website that helps to diagnose this exact issue. I hope helps. www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/prayer-plant/brown-leaves-on-prayer-plants.htm

[@mitchyrosa]

Love the video but salt and minerals don’t evaporate if anything it’s becomes more concentrated because of evaporation

[@mycrazy057]

What is the best way to clean the leaves of my prayer plant? I have a cutting that a friend gave me that was kind of long and spindly and I cut it up into four or five different pieces and it is growing like crazy and I haven't even moved it from the water yet! It's very exciting!😅

[@Gardeningknowhow]

It sounds like you have a nice collection of plants! As far as cleaning, are you referring to removing dirt and other sentiments from the leaves or cleaning (pruning) the plant of damaged/dying leaves?

[@mycrazy057]

@@Gardeningknowhow Just washing leaves. I have since used a light water spray and it worked well.

[@Gardeningknowhow]

I'm sure your plants appreciate all of the work you are putting into them. Once in a while I also place my houseplants in the shower to give them a quick rinse while watering.

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

“Laura” is a nice plant name…😊 My prayer plant’s name is Padre.🤷‍♀️ cause, ya know it’s a *prayer* plant..?

[@CleoGravel]

Way are they called prayer plant 🪴

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Great question! The leaves tend to fold together at night, like a pair of praying hands.

[@kossy67]

How minerals and salt in tap water 'evaporate'. The water will evaporate and concentrate salts and minerals in water! What you mentions, it's only good if you have to remove chlorine in the water! So now, it's hard to trust her about the other information in this video...! Message to Laura, if you are a specialist, you cannot do a mistake like that!!
