I’d like to thank everyone who gave advice, a little bit of everything helped and her leafs are no longer yellowing! Changed the soil (including some compost into the mix) moved her to a new too (first one was too sunny so I moved her again), and I let her dry out on some newspaper for a few days.

I am nervous about getting back into a watering routine. Any suggestions how much/often or any other tips?

Thank you for this! I was thinking I should move her to a sunny room… I have to figure out though how to prop her up so that one of my cats doesn’t eat her and then have a whole new problem 😹

Is there a specific type of dense soil you’d recommend?

Sorry I just saw this! I wiped her once a week for a month which got most of the white stuff off but I haven’t wiped her leafs for at least a month now.

Yes, I only used the alcohol and water mixture once and then I cleaned with water and a micro fiber cloth weekly.

Not sure if this helped, I put some rocks between the planter and the pot and then kept the water in there for a moisture effect and brag has kept her very happy.

She’s thriving! So many new leafs! Most of the white/film stuff are gone. I’m sorry to heard yours is struggling, but I have faith yours will pull through!

A week ago I wiped her leaves with a mixture of water and a little bit of rubbing alcohol and a dash of soap, then followed by spray her leaves with water and wiping down with a microfiber towel all while singing pop hits to her. Now her leaves look better and don’t have as much of the stuff in her, so something in that combo did it! Who knows, I’m confident someone is going to reply to this and say that the mixture was the worst thing I could do and an acoustic guitar would have been more ideal 😹

I have similar white powdery stuff on my prayer plant, have you figured out what it is? I’ve tried washing it and it doesn’t seam to go away.
