what kind of water do you have it in? These marantas are so picky and like rainwater (or more easily accessible distilled water) as they are lime sensitive

Thankyou. That might be it i have change the water to distilled water now. Hopefully it will work

Maybe too much light? Maranta leaves curl up when they have too much light. I've heard that these plants do great in the shade
