It's a difficult time of year for houseplant owners. The drop in temperature, lower levels of natural light and the return of central heating make for a difficult habitat for houseplants – especially tropical ones like prayer plants.
Even if you know how to care for a prayer plant, this doesn't mean you are immune to prayer plant leaves curling. 'Prayer plant leaves curling this time of year often signal that the plant is struggling with the shift from warmer summer conditions to cooler autumn ones. Nights are longer and temperatures start to drop, sometimes quite suddenly, which can stress these tropical plants that prefer stable warmth and humidity,' explains Andy Little, houseplant buyer at British Garden Centres. Thankfully, a few easy changes to how to care for a prayer plant can help bring your plant back to life.
