Do poinsettia leaves curl when the plant is dying?
No, the leaves do not curl just when poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) are dying.Specifically, there are poinsettias that have been cultivated to grow curling leaves. Otherwise, poinsettias curl leaves to indicate stress. Usually that stress reflects the presence of ethylene or incorrect watering. Ethylene is produced when poinsettia leaves are forced upwards, such as when they are wrapped for transport.In terms of watering, poinsettias require soil that never dries and never is water-logged. Leaves particularly will start curling when the plant's soil is allowed to dry out between waterings. After the bloom and until new growth, the plant's soil may be allowed to dry slightly out - but without showing cracks and fissures - about 1 inch/2.54 centimeters down from the surface, between waterings. During that time period, the plant should continue to be watered every 10 days.
Why do prayer plant leaves curl and turn brown?
Prayer plants are a tropical plant and require more humidity than found in most homes. Some ways to overcome this include: keep your plant out of direct sunlight, keep away from drafts (especially from forced-hot air furnaces), and increase the moisture in the air directly around your plant. One of the best ways to increase the local humidity around your plant is to have the pot on a tray of gravel and keep the gravel moist. Keep the base of the pot above the water-line of the gravel, and water your prayer plant (in a pot with drainage) regularly. You can mist the leaves with a sprayer, but the humidity from moist gravel is more consistent and will not leave water-spots on the leaves like tap water mist might. A good soil, like African violet soil, will help your prayer plant thrive, and a slow-release fertilizer, like Osmocote, is better than a liquid fertilizer.
