It's funny how so many youtubers teach prayer plant care, when their own does not look perfect. But not you! Your prayers plants and calatheas look perfect. I am gonna blindly follow whatever you say.
Your love for your plants shows in how beautiful they look
Never seen such a lovely collection. I was given a maranta a year ago. It didn't look great, almost died, came back and flowered for a while but it isn't looking great anymore. I have changed location and type of water but sadly I can't help it improve. This is a plant I have really struggled. I came to the decision that since plants are just like people, perhaps, he isn't very fond of me, lol!
I have a fovourite one. It's sitting right there on your table. 🙂
i had a prayer plant and that soil mix is KEY, i killed mine and am in the process of bringing back so thank you for this video when most plant videos tell you to soak the then let them dry out not with these you water a littel and keep it dry and humid I didnt change the soil when I got home and I should have taken it out of the platic pot and addes more draining soil the soil seemed so muddy and it must of develeoped root rot cuase I was figuring out the water and the light and trying diffent things but now I know what to do!!!! thats why yours look so good your soil for these plants is KEY....and your speical fertizlizer wow you really have a knack for these they are very very hard to keep thriving so congrats...I am going to try again that you so much for your insight .
I have a maranta cutting and it grew roots rather quickly. I did a water propagation so I could keep an eye on the roots growth. I did use a bit of plant food and it sprung roots within 2 weeks. I haven't planted it yet, waiting for more root growth.
OMG I've been TORTURING my poor prayer plant! So glad I watched before it was too late!
Kindof Retired oh no lol
Beautiful plants! I had 2 very small Maranta's that ended up mostly dead, so I clipped what I could and ended up with 8 clippings in water. Some didn't survive the propagation but some did. I also later got a hanging basket I repotted aesthetically but it had a hard time, so the other day I took the remaining pieces that were doing well, the few clippings, and a small 4" one I found and they are all consolidated into 1 pot now. Pot may be a little too deep, but it's pretty thick with all the pieces I was able to save. It's going to be receiving extra care and a lot of talking to it so it can thicken and grow in height for a full, healthy pot. I'm hoping it starts to drape over the sides as well.
Just started watching. I’m going to start watering the way you do. I’ve seen a lot of people on RUclips say they kill prayer plants and clearly you have it figured out. Gorgeous!
Hi Hanna! I've watched this video several times now, whenever I need an enlightenment towards my prayer 🌿! I think I might need to propagate it as you did because it's getting too leggy. Tough, before I do it, I would love to see how your cuts did and how your maranta is looking nowadays! If you can, please share! Thank you so much!
I have my new prayer plant and your video is very useful thanks for this
All your plants are gorgeous. I tried to grow a fittonia cutting. I had it in small glass of water and after a few weeks it produced some roots. I was so pleased with myself and planted up the cutting. It died almost immediately! I was gutted. I will try again though. Thanks for all your tips.
Jan Enderwitz I’ve heard that Fittonia is easiest to just cut and place straight back into the soil, and keep moist. I haven’t tried yet but I might try some in water and some straight in soil and see what happens
@@TropicalPlantAddict good idea, I will do the same.
Your plants look amazing.. i think I’ve done all the care I know they still don’t look as stunning as yours esp my marantas and my calathea vittata.. my vittata’s baby leaves turned yellow and seem to be dying. my marantas, they don’t stand up and pray at night even with no light.. I live in the basement and have no access to a window/natural light but I got them every alternatives i can think of.. i am currently growing them inside a mini green house with grow lights.. i use distilled water and i monitor humidity very closely.. humidity ranges from 60-70.. Even with all that, they don’t seem to be thriving well ☹️
As much as I love them all I'd have to say my favorites are white fusion and orbifolia.
lindsey Bonham I do LOVE my orbifolia 😊💚💚💚
I love mine too... its doubled in size since I got her... not as big as yours by any means but she's growing so nice!!! Yours is goals for mine for sure... so beautiful!!! 💚

Your bird is so cute. It look like he was dancing when the camera was on him. Lol.
Thank you so much! My prayer plants have been so upset in my hot and dry apartment. I thought I was giving them too little light but now I'm going to try a humidifier and see how they do.
I had similar situation. Brought new Prayer plant and every new leaf that sprouted died within a week. Invested in a humidifier & now he's growing beautifully! Every 8 to 10 days I see a new leaf.
This was SUCH A helpful video. Thanks for showing how you water the prayer plants as it's so different from what I normally do for my other house plants. Definitely going to try your method now and see if they perk up a bit x
Thank you Hannah, I live in the UK and have a prayer plant where one of the stems has got heavy and is hanging down. Now I know what to do and you explained it really well, your plants are amazing by the way, I subscribed and thanks again.
First video of someone giving Calathea advice that actually have Calatheas that seems to be doing really well. Most videos on youtube is "well you should do this and this and this, and I do this", and they show you all their plants with brown leafs and so on.
Make some more with more indepth technical things you do. Exact room humidity and so on. I think the filtered water might be a biggie.
Thanks very much! I filmed this video quite a while ago, since then I’ve had a few problems with my calatheas… They seem to be very prone to bugs, so a few of them I’ve had to cut right back to regrow and lost a few others. I still have my 15 year old calathea rufibarba and a handful of others. I mainly collect rarer plants these days and don’t think I’ll be buying any more calatheas. If you check out some of my more recent house plant tours you can see the kind of plants I collect now 🌿
The colors on your plants are gorgeous.
Your stromanthe at 43 seconds is a magic star :)
Flora Tran ah ok! It was labelled as Triostar.. it did have more variegation on it when I first got it
Tropical Plant Addict it is most commonly known as triostar:) I’ve never heard of magic star so I assume that’s more rare way to call it
@@agatasobocinska1142 if you do a little research the magic star has flecks of white
I have propagated my maranta’s. They seem to take a little longer to root than any of my other plants. It has taken me almost a year but I have FINALLY figured mine out. Love your Plant Menagerie.
Flora Tran if YOU do a proper research you would know that triostar has them as well. and it has a completely different shape and proportion of the white patches, also a completely different veining. Hers is triostar
Beautiful presentation with lots of very helpful advice - Many thanks !!
Marantacae are my favorite plants. My marantas and Calathea are doing great. I bought Ms. Stromanthe triostar about two months ago from and Etsy seller and she came with all the leaves damaged or the tips cut off. I am trying to save her! She is down to 1 leaf, which still folds up at night and her roots seem strong so I am hoping she will survive! Your plants are incredible. I will try to find a Ctenanthe burle-Marxii this year.
idiosyncraticgirl1 I’m sure she will start to regrow when the weather gets a bit better 😊🌿🌱
Your plants look so healthy and beautiful. Thanks for the tips. The tips of the leaves of my plant get brown and you just answered my question. I guess I have to start watering with distilled or filter water. The leaves of your plants are so perfect. Thank you.
This video was helpful! I couldn't find any answers as to why my prayer plant had Browning edges so now I will switch to distilled water and it will be so much happier. Thank you for your wonderful and informative videos!
Bre True you’re so welcome! 😊💚🌿🌱🌴
I have a small marantha and hope to care for it well. I appreciate the tips you have given. All your plants are healthy and beautiful, reflecting your love and care for them. I have subscribed and suspect that your channel will be my 'go to ' channel. Thanks.
First of all, your choice in music blew me away. I love the blues. Wow, what a treat.
Thank you for the very informative information regarding our beautiful prayer plants. Although I have been collecting houseplants for years; I am new to the world of tropicals. Recently, I got bold and cut off a few limbs off my leggy, lemon-lime marantha. What I found excited me so much, I had to share it with you all. I rooted them in water. I read somewhere that if you add a cutting of Pothos to the water (along with your new cuttings) that supposedly, it somehow motivates the cuttings to root quicker. I had to try it. Guess what ? It worked !!! I tried some of my cuttings along with some Sansevieria snake plant cuttings and got the same result. No fooling. I have not yet moved my rooted cuttings to soil yet. I am trying to decide whether I want to plant them back in the same pot with their Mother, making the plant much bushier, or whether to plant them alone.
I might add that I am a huge fan of sprinkling all my plants with cinnamon, all cuttings, breaks, soil amendment, etc. Cinnamon is anti-fungal, antibiotic and aids in promoting healthy roots. I cannot say enough good stuff about the use of cinnamon with plants of all kinds.
** I absolutely love your videos, your accent is lovely, you are beautiful, educated and passionate about growing healthy plants. The plant community appreciates your time and effort. I look forward to watching and learning as much as I can from your videos.
I also appreciate the links you add along with soil recipes, and more information to help us be successful. Beautiful job my friend. Thank you so much.
Jan Thomson
Wow they look fantastic ! 😍😍
It's so difficult. They really talk to you and I get depressed if I don't understand them. They don't like to move. Your videos helps me a lot.
Gorgeous plants, i always love to watch your video with useful tips. 🌱👍
Good info, I've never been able to keep one alive for very long.
I love calathea, I haven't got the maranta variety yet, that will be my next purchase, I got two varieties of calathea before Christmas, the roseopicta and lancifolia, love love love them. Thank you for this informative video, so far they are doing great, can't wait till your next video, Happy New Year to you as well!
Holly Hasegawa Nielson Thank you! Prayer plants are addictive 😆🌿💚
I'm getting a meranta 14 dollars at lows good price luv it soo pretty my prayer plant is a Beaty thnx for the tips enjoy 🌵🌸🌿🍃🍃🍁🎋🌱🌱🌼🌾🌾🌴🌴🌺🎍🌾🤗❤️👍
I am so glad you made this video. I recently snipped off a leave from my daughters plant and took it home to see if I could root it in water, I now know that I need to go back to her home to snip the node and try again, I also have many birds so I have the humidifier running at all times, thank you for the help, I did not even know the name of this lovely plant, and now that I see there are a number of varieties, I’d like to collect them all, I save my rainwater here in Roseville California so I’m on the right track, your tips are very appreciated, I look forward to seeing the results of the cuttings you just took. Thanks 🙏
*Very cool video* 👍
I was so scared to take a cutting. You have eased my fears 😊😊 . great video!!
Gerard's Horticulture Culture that’s great to hear! The cuttings look so pretty in little vases too!
I’ll be propagating my red maranta tomorrow!! I’m excited
Thank you for the useful video. I love prayer plants too. I started with the makoyana and maranta and still have them and my collection has been growing ever since :-) I´m testing the new water propagated cuttings of maranta in pon and they seem to like it much more than the soil.
You have such beautiful orbifolia - hopefully one day I can also have such a beautiful big one 🙂
Beautiful.. Very helpful.. Thanks.. I will try this.. ❤️
Really love your videos! Very helpful and informative. Just a remarkable plants. You are looking beautiful, as always!
Been decades since i had one would love to get a new one or a variety of them.
Terrific video! My plants want to be just like your plants when they grow up! 😊 I too water my plants the same... It helped with root rot a lot!
They look amazing love the little and often so many plant people advise agaisnt that but with these I think its perfect thanks for the validation.
The maranta is my fav! 😊 I purchased a newly propagated one with only 3 leaves but it looks a bit sad not a very dark color I believe it’s the same as the one to the right of the one your showing how to propagate!
I’m a new subscriber! Love your videos
Oooof thank you for this! I now know how to look after my maranta.
Ahh Hannah love your calatheas.. You are truly a tropical plant expert 😍
Hi Hannah, I always like your videos. I'm looking forward to seeing the update on the cuttings. I was watching a parrot video and this man put an artichoke in his parrots cage to give him something to chew apart. Maybe a piece of broccoli might keep Monster busy. But I know, they have a mind of their own!
She gets broccoli, grapes, blueberries, cauliflower etc :-) She is very curious and like exploring, the prayer plants probably taste nice ha ha
I’ve never seen a calathea Crocata! Beautiful collection 💚
Шикарные растения! Супер!
Спасибо :-)
I ordered a Maranta!!
Prayer Plant Maranta is my favorite
I only have one Prayer plant, a red maranta. I LOVE that plant. I'm totally new to house plants, she was the first one I bought and have it about 3 months.
Sarah Olney beautiful aren’t they! One of my favourites for sure 💚🌿
Gosh I think I’ve been watering my prayer plants too much. I do have them as hanging plants and I thought maybe they needed more water🤷🏻♀️ I do have the humidifier on once a week I’m thinking that maybe the light is causing the leaves to curl and dry out . Thank you for this video it has helped me a lot
My favorite is the rattlesnake.
I almost lost my pinstripe calatheas because I had been watering it like you said and it was next to the humidifier and I use a warm mist humidifier because it doesn't make the furniture in the floor wet and seems to dissipate all over the room rather than in one area! But all of a sudden for some reason I forgot to water it when I was watering everybody else so it didn't like that one bit!!! So I bought some of those glass globe self waterers and it did really well with that set up. Because I figured out it needed to be evenly moist but not soaking wet I bought a medallion about three months ago and it's doing beautifully. Growing new leaves and no dry spots on the leaves they're all beautiful. I've just ordered a Orba Folia like you're so I have the little watering Globe already
soo useful! I've been trying to diagnose the problem here for a while lol gonna move her into a different spot.
very very use ful
Great video. I have watched it twice. Lol saving this video for future reference. Mine has brown/yellow tips but just on one side of the plant. I just moved it to a less bright spot in my living room. I live in Florida. I was told I should not mist since its humid here. I have a pebble tray under the decorative pot. Just in case. I only water when it is starting to dry out. I hope I am doing Ok. I love this plant. It's so pretty. I also moved it where there are other cathethia plants.
шикарные растения!!! супер
Enjoyed your video as always and very useful info. Gorgeous plants.
I`m flabbergasted, when I water marantha and calathea I pour like galon of water into pot lol. I may be over watering my everything lol.
i like them all
You give more compiled information on calatheas😍 my favorite plant are calatheas too😍
My calathea ornata or pinstripe is my favorite 💚
Beautiful collection of plants 🌱.. looks healthy & happy 😊!
Thank you for your tips! Have a blessed day!
U know what could it be...btw great videos...luv ur house
Calathea orbifolia is my current favorite. That could change tomorrow🤔
Jodie Kelly ha ha I change my mind every week 😆🌿💚🌱
Actually your “stromanthe triostar” is in fact a “stromanthe magicstar”.😉
The white variegation on the triostar are larger and wider. And the variegation on the magicstar’s leaves look more like splotches. That’s how you can tell the difference.
Great video btw!! I absolutely LOVE your Marantaceae collection!!❤️✌️
this is why we can’t have nice things Thanks, someone else pointed this out. Mine was labelled up as Triostar.. I can see the difference now though after looking at some pics 😊🌿
Personally i like your videos with you on the screen more than ones with just music and subtitles.
Good information
Thanks for the helpful information. I recently purchased a Calathea and need all the help tips. I now they are fussy, but it was to Beautiful for me to pass it by. Next will be a pray plant, I have found one not in a good condition. Good video. Thanks for sharing.👍🏼
I love them and spent so much but they are so fussy! I will give your technique a go and cross my fingers. Thank you!
So cool!
Great video! Thank you for this! Saw a maranta today but decided against it.
Thanks! I'd say the Maranta is one of the easier prayer plants to take care of, not as fussy as calatheas
beautiful
You have Wonderful plants. Also I like that you really try to picture how some signs of mistreatment look. It's one way saying that a plant doesn't appreciate a lot of light but knowing what signs the plants gives you is really helpful. - I got a Maranta for my birthday and what to inform myself how to care for it. That's said. I have a calathea ornata and didn't know she belongs to the prayer plants. Strangely it doesn't really move. The leafs are mostly in the "night/ praying" position. I thought it's because they orient themself to the light but now I am not sure about it. It actually gets a lot of light but doesn't curl it's leafs. Any idea?
All the plants look amazing. new friend Ruthie
Great video. Information I needed!🌱
I am in Awe of your Prayer Plants! Very interesting how you only water around the stems and not the whole pot, why?
Also, how did the Prayer plant Maranta propagation? Did they root for you? I tried in water and never worked until I cut the beautiful leaves in half. I pray yours worked for you
Beautiful
Susanne Hirschauer Thank you 😊💚🌿🌱
Happy New Year too. Your plants look so healthy, you must have green fingers 👍🏼
😍😍 Lovely video & collection!
Me encanta su casa que belleza de jardín, párese artificial
Hanna, your Stromanthe triostar is not a triostar, it is a magicstar. Here on youtube you can find a video of Kaylee Ellen about this fact.
Thanks for this information 👍
My favourite one is Calathea orbifolia . I got a small one over a year ago and now its massive but they are so hard to keep them happy. I get really bad leaf browning despite doing my best. Filtered water and humidifier in the room does not help. I find that the browning doesnt progress from about 70-75% humidifier in my room which is not achievanle at all on daily basis even with 2 humidifiers and my washing hanging in the room :/ winter climate is soo dry where I live :( it’s a challenge to bring it up to 50 sometimes
I have only had mine about 6 months so I'm curious to see if it will continue to look like it does. If I can think of any more tips I'll make a new video :-)
Tropical Plant Addict im pretty sure your will be doing great :) 6 months is usually long enough to see if the plant is happy and yours clearly are:) I find that the biggest challenge with those is humidity so if your home is humid enough for them not to develop browning up until this day then I’m sure they’ll be fine :) UK climate seems quite humid anyway
lovely plants thank you!
Your plants are stunning! I'd love to see u loosen up though, u seem so serious all the time lol😜hope all is well. Thx for sharing.
Its because I get very anxious and nervous on camera unfortunately 😢
Your prayer plants are all so lovely! 💚🌱 My favorites are my Rattlesnake & Triostar. I just bought Medallion today. Fingers crossed I don't kill it lol! :)
I do love the Lancifolia also :-)
Hi Hannah, I love all your videos and I have learned a lot from you. I just wanted to know what do you do to increase humidity around these plants while on holidays thanks
Grets Gretsmerl Take a look at my top 10 tips on how to increase humidity at home video… There are a few things that you can do if you were away including grouping your plants together, leaving out little pots of water etc.
Love it
Wow many prayer plant
I don't have any prayer plants yet, but I will probably buy one this spring. I have heard a lot of people say that some prayer plants are more easy and more beginner-friendly than others. So, as I think you are quite the expert: do you think this is true? Which ones do you recommend for a first time owner? Thanks! (:
Laura Herregodts hmmm I wouldn’t say they are easy especially calatheas, they can be really fussy! I’d start with a maranta 😊💚🌿
@@TropicalPlantAddict Great! I'll do that, thanks! Great tips in the video by the way!
i love love them all
Hello I’m a new subscriber.. Thank you for making the video❤️
Dinah DMM welcome! 🥰💚🌴🌺🦩🍍
Hi, I have a medallion... when I first got it, the leaves used to fold up and down like u said...but now they stay down all day and night...edges have a little brown, very little...she gets distilled water...
Yvonne M mine did this and I moved it away from direct sunlight and she started praying again. Hopefully yours started again too.
Hi Hanna, thanks for the video. I noticed the red backing on the leaves but also the Neon green on the others. Is this a mixed pot of Lemon Lime/Fascinator plants? My Lemon Lime has a green back on the leaves. I have flowers sprouting from My Baby Lemon Lime. I thought since this is the first time I’d let her experience this. ( Like You do a Female dog. The expensive of Motherhood)? What do You do? What are the Pros and Cons of this? The flowers aren’t spectacular or smell good. Does this ZAP the plant of strength? Help Me out. ✌🏿
I want the pillow in the back.
Skeleton snake fever
All your plants are beautiful. I can't find the lime green prayer plants here in Montreal. 😕
I can't seem to get lemon lime version here either :(
