Too much sun or a feeding gap

What's happening

New leaves bleaching to a pale, washed-out yellow on the window side points to too much direct sun scorching tender growth, which prayer plants are especially sensitive to. Pale, weak new leaves with no recent feeding instead point to a nutrient shortfall, since young growth is the first to show a lack of food.

How to fix it

Move the plant out of any direct sun into the bright, indirect light prayer plants prefer. If feeding is overdue, start a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength through the growing season. New leaves that emerge after the change should come in a healthy, well-patterned green.

This is general guidance based on common symptoms; individual plants vary.
