I’d divide them, but you can up-pot the whole thing if you’d prefer. It’s generally recommended that you ain’t until after they’ve flowered to divide them.

It’s unusual, but it happens. Sounds like you caught a nutrient deficiency in time.

You’ll be able to see thrips, though they are small. Look on the new growth – they love it. When you look for spider,items, look for webs that have been made in any bits of the the leaves that have curled in on themselves – they love crevices like that. Prayer plants are good at bouncing back if you have to prune hard, so don’t worry.

That being said, my prayer plants are not enjoying winter at all – I’ve moved them to a brighter windowsill, and they’re doing ok, but I’m a getting some yellowing a few crispy edges

It sounds like it’s coming to end of the growing season, but I’d water it and then fertilise it with a really gentle fertiliser – worm castings or aquarium water would be great. We want to help the bulb store energy for summer but if it’s winding down it’ll be more prone to root burn.

Cyclamen tend to die back completely over the summer and then regrow in the winter. I’ve tried regrowing the bulbs but they have a tendency to just rot – they’re grow with the intention that they’ll be chucked when they die back, since it’s so cheap to buy a new one next season.

I’d leave the leaves where they are, since the bulb should absorb the nutrients, and hope it regrows next winter! Moisten the soil, but let it dry out completely between waterings.

As for the plants being forced into flower…I don’t know, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I know they do that with peace lilies.

If it’s just one old leaf it’s probably just reached the end of its life. Repotting may have sped up the process but it was going to happen anyway.

If you’re worried about under watering but don’t want gnats, try bottom watering so the top of the soil doesn’t get wet.
