Review: Beautiful Prayer plant - I bought this as a gift for a coworker and it was my first time ordering a plant online. 🪴 Nevertheless I was a bit skeptical. I was a new plant mom myself so trying to advise someone about where to buy plants was not my forte. The plant arrived during a torrential rainstorm with no hiccups. Hirt's had packaged this plant with care and whoa was I surprised. She arrived in perfect health with all leaves intact, and the perfect size. The picture on the right was fresh out the box. Six weeks later, I still have not given her to my coworker. 🫠 But I went ahead and ordered her another one, which should arrive in a few days. My prayer plant 😁 has been potted and growing like weeds. I had to find the right space in my house for her, I can't wait to see what she is going to do.
Review: Not happy. - I am so disappointed with this purchase. This is the most pitiful plant I have ever received. The plant came with two leaves, one already soggy and dead the other mostly dried up, stuck inside a nursery pot with over watered soil. What I received is a “rooted cutting” without mature roots rather than a plant. It looks like a cutting stuffed in soil. The plant came with two leaves on a small stem with two tiny roots. The packaging was also unsatisfactory, with 2/3 of the potting soil upended and in the bottom of the shipping box. The soil was extremely wet when I opened the package and completely separated from plant. The plant was practically hanging out of the soil by a single root. The one remaining leaf is mostly dried up even though the soil was still moist. Since the plant was hanging out of the soil, I could easily see that the poor plant has only two small roots. I have purchased plants from desertcart before and they have looked great, not the case here. I will try to see if I can get a root system going with the tiny stem I received. If company would send me a respectable plant, I would give it a positive review.

## Features

- Prayer plants have big, oval leaves that turn upward at night
- The folding and unfolding of the leaves happens in a regular pattern
- Plant biologists call these daily cycles circadian rhythms
- Just provide bright indirect light and keep evenly moist
- Garden & Patio

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I repot this plant?**
A: I simply lift out of pot and scratch the bottom of the roots slightly place in new pot with new potting soil in the bottom and around the plant in the new pot which is no more than 2 inches larger than the old one. I do not water right away until the plant settles in for a day. I usually keep it slightly moist at all times after this.

**Q: Ive had mine for a few weeks and never have the leaves rolled and unrolled its also now dying, any help woukd be appreciated**
A: When the leaves roll in from the sides it usually means there's a lack of humidity.  The plant is trying to use its leaves to hold in the moisture, prayer plants tend to like lots of humidity.  Using distilled water also keeps it happy I hear.

**Q: Can I spray the leaves with water from my fish tank**
A: You can, it’s safe for plants, but run the risk of nitrogen burn on the leaves if there’s already enough nitrogen in the soil. You can by a soil test kit. If you use liquid fertilizer, it should be half the strength. Fish emulsion is great for the soil. Use filtered, bottled water to mist the leaves if the humidity is not high enough in your home. you can place a glass of water by the plant, place the plant on a tray of rocks with water in the bottom, or group plants together.

**Q: Is this a well established plant with multiple leaves? How is it shipped me**
A: Not well established at all it's only individual cuttings with less than 1/4 inch roots, some stems have no roots at all. Packaging was fine it arrived not damaged and securely packed but I wanted a well established plant, not a handful of cuttings

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pretty
*by T***Y on December 10, 2016*

The plant arrived much quicker than I expected. I don't really know anything about plants, but my neighbor said it looked healthy, except for 1 small leaf was yellow. She advised me to remove it, so I did. As far as I can tell, it looks really good. I'm hoping it will be easy to care for & thrive in my apartment. Update 12/14/2016 Despite my best efforts, the poor plant is looking terrible. Some of the leaves have come off, some look almost see through, and all in all pretty wilted & sad looking. I did some research, and this plant apparently needs humidity. I'm in upstate NY, & there is barely any humidity in my apartment. So, I bought a humidifier, and have also been boiling water on the stove in an effort to get the humidity up. But I can't get it above 36%, and that just doesn't seem to be enough. It's not completely dead yet, but it's not looking like it will make it. I probably should have done more research before buying, so it's my own fault. But I thought I should update in case it might help someone else. Update (again) 12/25/2016. Somehow, the plant is looking much better now. I'm keeping it right next to a humidifier, & using a pebble tray.
