Hi there!

I have a prayer plant that is not doing well. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I should do to get him looking lush and strong again. Many of the leaves are brown along the edges and any new growth just dries, shrivels, & dies. It's not in TERRIBlLE shape but he just doesn't look happy and healthy.

Here is the low down. When I first got the plant he was in great shape but I gave him too much light and he began to brown. I moved him to a new location so now, the plant is not in direct light but is kept in a room that gets good outside light. I keep a humidifying tray below the pot and mist daily. Also, I've noticed some dry white spots on the leaves, which I think are from misting with tap water. "/ Could this be doing the damage?

Maybe I'm not watering enough..? I'm thinking about giving him some food with his next watering. I also thought to repot him and give him some fresh soil. Should I remove all the brown/burnt foliage? I haven't already done so because it would be a lot of the plant and because those with brown tips still fold up in the prayer position in the evening. I figured that is a sign they are not "dead leaves".

Any suggestions?? Sad *See photos attached. Thank you<3
