Homestead Brooklyn's Plant One On Me is an informal question-and-answer series on all your green home and gardening tips. Feel free to write in your questions below the videos, on Instagram @homesteadbrooklyn, or Facebook @summerrayneoakes and @homesteadbrooklyn.
I’m a little breathless in this episode; I think because I want to fit so much information on prayer plants-or the Marantaceae family-in 10 minutes time! In this episode I go over different types of prayer plants from 4 genera, temperature, humidity, water, soil requirements, and a whole lot more. Hope you enjoy this episode (and the very, very cool timelapse)!

Finally. I have managed to keep a prayer plant alive for more than 20 minutes. Finally.

@Jessica-kt3ne 2 года назад

Bought my prayer plant the other day without knowing much about it. I was SO weirded out when I kept finding it in different positions. Thought I was losing it. The time lapse part of your video was very informative and I appreciate the care tips. 🌱🌞

She has a plant a day series that I use when I’m out plant shopping. The videos are short so you can get an idea of the care quickly. It’s been a lifesaver bc I have a really shaded apartment

One of my marantas had a little infestation problem, little lice like white bugs. I trimmed it all the way down cutting away all the leaves where they nested, and It grew back beautifully! Very strong and beautiful plants.

@turogers13 Год назад

Wow, I'm glad that I stumbled onto your tutorial. I have recently purchased a cutting of a red veined prayer plant. I had it in a glass of water for weeks. I would regularly change the water and used both tap and bottled. I purchased a root booster off of Amazon and would occasionally add a small amount. It finally took root and I waited until a few more formed before putting it in soil. It does look a little weird because it is only one leaf sitting in a pot. I have transferred it onto a heat pad and grow lights. After seeing this I will take it out of the grow lights. This has been the catalyst for my new love of plants.

This is my fav kind of plant, and I have collected 10+ different ones over the past 4 years. Sometimes they flower, but even if they do not flower, they are still so beautiful. I love calatheas so much. :)

I love your videos! I recently got a Calathea lancifolia and, after watching its behavior for a day or so, thought the leaves were drooping due to it being thirsty. I've since learned it's a daily pattern and now, I am used to the leaves making noise as they shift and readjust every day. It's a fun plant!

@cynthiaesquibel3191 6 лет назад

Just came across your channel tonight for the first time and I'm enjoying it immensely. It's so much nicer listening to someone discuss the care and requirements of houseplants than just reading the basic, generic info on the plant tags we find shoved into the pots when we buy them at our local stores. Especially this one..I just bought one of these a few months back, and I've followed the instructions to a T, but it's not thriving at all. I'm thinking now, after watching this vid, that at least part of the problem in lack of humidity - it's February in Maine, not much humidity in my home right now!

Thank you for pointing out the details about the dormancy!none of the guides I read online have mentioned anything about a dormancy and I've been so worried about my prayer plant as when I got it it was just two little leaves. The one leaf yellowed and wilted away and I snipped it back to just above its node and so now it's literally just a single leaf in a pot.i was worried that if that leaf went away the plant must likely wouldn't recover and knowing that there's always a chance of it just being dormant and coming back definitely makes me feel a bit better
