    Die Orbifolia meiner Mutter, dass sie mit Leitungswasser wässt und zwei Stunden Sonnenlicht einmal pro Woche gibt


    Kaufte meine Mutter letztes Jahr einen Orbifolia für den Muttertag, nachdem sie gesagt hatte, meine sei hübsch. Ich warnte sie, wie schwierig sie sind.

    Sie greift es einmal pro Woche mit einer Tasse Leitungswasser. Es bekam Thrips, also schnitt sie alle Blätter ab. Jede Woche bewegt sie es von ihrer Stelle vor dem Kamin, das praktisch null nutzbares Licht erhält und es für ein paar Stunden in das Fenster steckt.

      She doesn’t really care about it so it’s thriving out of spite. You should hide yours in a dark corner! 🤞

      This reminds me of the men with perfect hair and skin even though they use a 6 in 1 body wash for everything.

      I assume it’s a regular pot, but it looks like it’s in a crock-pot. 😀 I swear I have a crock-pot that looks just like that.

      I have just thrown mine out. Everytime I looked at it i felt depressed it looked like shit

      I bought two of these a couple months ago, with no idea they had a poor survival reputation. Thank god, they still look fine 🤞. Mine are slightly larger and I do 2C hard tap water a week each. They get indirect light from North and West facing windows 6-8ft away. And currently high heat and humidity from the summer. Looking the same as when I bought them but Reddit’s making me nervous.

      Nice to know neglect is possibly the answer 😂

      I will admit ever since I moved mine to less light and away from humidity it’s doing so well 😅

      I love seeing posts about how hard Prayer Plants are to take care of. (Humility control and such)

      I treat mine like your mom’s and she does great. 😀

      I feel both worse and better about my orbifolia that I have had for four years and brought back from the dead 4x. It’s currently pushing out new leaves. 🤞🏼

      I water most of my plants once a month-it’s amazing how they do when you let em dry out a bit longer!

      I think the plant respects her unbothered attitude and decided to adapt.

      My (current) plants thrive on hate. I have no idea why. I give them the bare minimum to survive and I give them the finger twice a day, they thrive. I try to spoil them like my mums, they wilt. Hate it is, then 🤷🏻‍♀️

      I harp on this endlessly: these are forest plants. They thrive with a healthy dose of benevolent neglect.

      My mom has about 50 house plants scattered throughout our house and they are all healthy and vibrant. She does exactly what your mom does. I took a page out of her book and started doing the same thing with my plants and they have never been better, not one withered leaf. I just pretend they don’t exist

      Meanwhile my plants: “This soil’s PH level feels 0.1 off my ideal so i’mma head out and die real quick.”
