I think I've figured it out! For anyone else that comes across this thread because their plants look the same, I believe the cause is SPIDER MITES. After really, really close inspection I found some tiny red crawlies on under side of the leaves. Am misting with a soap water mixture, will report back on success.

I googled this, but it seems extreme. I know I got a few to sprout a couple of years ago, and probably just stuck them in peat pots, on the window sill, because thats how I was doing everything then. 1 Heat water to 140 degrees F in a small container that can hold hot water without cracking or melting. Use a cooking thermometer to verify the temperature. 2 Add sensitive plant seeds to hot water. Since the germination rate is very low, use 20 seeds if you want one plant to grow. Soak in hot water for 20 minutes. The water can cool over this period of time. It does not need to stay at a constant 140 degrees F. 3 Prepare the growing medium by adding potting soil to the planting container until the planting container is full of potting soil. Soak the potting soil with water and let drain. 4 Remove the sensitive plant seeds from the hot water bath and place onto the surface of the potting soil. Press the seeds gently into the potting soil but do not cover. Sensitive plant seeds need light to germinate. 5 Set in a warm place (70-75 degrees F) with bright light but not direct sunlight. The sensitive plant seeds should germinate in 20-30 days. After the seedlings have two sets of true leaves, set in an area that receives about 4 hours of sunlight each day and begin a weekly fertilization program with a water soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength.

I would really love to have a canna Stuttgart if any of you out there have one for trade.

Hey there: Not all prayer plants show as much movement as others. Newer leaves will react more. As for the sensitive plant seed, they will showup in Walmart when they get their seed selection in this spring. -Sandy
