hi everyone! i’m having some trouble with my rattlesnake plant and calathea freddie. i know both of these plants are sensitive and a few weeks ago i repotted them into planters that have drainage which i know is important, but they are still having issues…any suggestions?
Looks like the humidity might be too low. Are you doing anything to increase it?

I mist mine often too. Pretty much any time I mist any others. Also since they’re sensitive to chlorine I have been filling my spray bottle up at night and leaving the spray nozzle/lid off to let the chlorine leave the bottle. I have two prayer plants and a corn plant sensitive to chlorine. So far so good.

I find that mine -need- to be away from the window in the summer time. I have humidifiers going, a fan to circulate air, and I water with distilled only and starting in probably late April/early May was starting to get crispy leaves. Then in the afternoon a few weeks ago I was staring at them and noticed the sun was hitting the leaves that had brown crispies on them (It’s a west window). I moved them so that no sun would ever touch their leaves and so far the new growth has been solid! If you can’t move them far back, try a sheer curtain or putting other plants that can handle sun in front of them.
