Prayer plant (Maranta) just got checked.
This Prayer plant (Maranta) looks stressed mainly from water management rather than disease. The curled, browned, drooping leaves fit a plant that has been getting irregular moisture or drying too much between waterings. Since the pot has drainage and water does not sit in it, root rot from standing water is less likely; the more likely issue is that the root ball is being allowed to swing too dry, or the potting mix is drying unevenly. Prayer plants show leaf curl and browning very quickly when moisture, humidity, or root conditions are off.
Stabilize moisture and reduce stress today
Keep the mix evenly moist, not soggy, and avoid letting it dry out hard. Prayer plants recover best from steady care.
Also possible, but less likely
What would prove it
Watch for recovery in new growth
If the cause is moisture stress, the plant should stop worsening first, then push healthier new leaves. If it keeps declining despite steady watering, check roots and potting mix condition.
