As I was watering some houseplants last night, I noticed that my red prayer plant is looking exceptional right now. Just thought I'd share it with you.

Golly, That is a beautiful plant. I have never seen a red one before.
I had been given a green one by a friend who's Mother had passed away and they had so many beautiful plants. I was her mom's nurse so she brought a half dozen plants to the clinic for me to choose which one I wanted.
I guess it did not like me or my green house conditions or lack of such environment and it died.
What is your secret? What light does it get? Did I over water it? Grace
Oh, dear... I shouldn't even tell you about the lack of care this poor plant gets! It's been in the same pot for many, many years, and I probably water it once a week, with plant food every couple months if it's lucky. Maybe it thrives on neglect!
Even its location is 'iffy'. It sits on the top of a cabinet (higher than my head), trailing down over the edge. It's in a south room but never gets sunlight because it's up so high. That's it.
I also have a green prayer plant, and it's very old, too, but it doesn't look quite as nice. It, however, is down just below the window, so it gets a little bit of sunlight, depending on the time of year.
Great secret, huh? ;-)
