A captivating indoor plant, Lemon Lime has broad, dark green leaves with vivid lemon and lime patterns. Its unusually folded leaves, which resemble hands raised in prayer, give any interior setting a magical touch. This plant thrives when kept evenly moist, and it enjoys warm, humid environments and bright, indirect light.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Light: Bright, indirect light is preferred by prayer plants. They need to be situated close to a window that gets filtered or partially shaded light. Their leaves can become scorched by direct sunlight, so it's best to avoid placing them in direct sunlight

Temperature and Humidity: Warm, humid environments are ideal for these plants. They prefer ambient temperatures of between 65 and 80 °F (18 and 27 °C). Additionally, they prefer higher humidity levels, so misting the leaves or setting the plant on a tray with water and pebbles can help.

Watering: Prayer Plants like to be kept evenly moist but not soggy. Water them when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as it can lead to root rot. It's better to be underwater slightly than over water.

Soil & Fertilizer: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture but doesn't become waterlogged when it comes to soil and fertilizer. Compost, perlite, and peat moss are good combinations. During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize the plant once a month with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer to promote healthy growth.

Pruning and Propagation: To maintain the appearance of the plant, regularly trim any yellow or brown leaves. Division is a method of propagating prayer plants. Rhizome clumps should be carefully dispersed when the plant becomes crowded so that each one can be potted separately.
