# Ordered this Calathea White Fusion online.. it came here in pretty…

_Posted by Evil Plant Dad on 2023-08-30_

Ordered this Calathea White Fusion online.. it came here in pretty bad shape with half its leaves having damage. I decided not to waste the plant and send it back to them (surely to arrive dead) but now I have this struggling plant on my hands.

In general, is there anything you all would try to do to reduce stress on this little guy and help him start making new leaves again? I know one day I can get him looking great.. just not going to be incredibly soon

Keep on the Planta schedule! It helped me get mine back into shape. I forgot to water mine and it was on the brink of death then I found this app and she is slowly but surely coming back!!

Allow it to adjust and make sure you have the right light level. They do not like a lot of light. The white leaves will probably die off. Then it should put out new leaves. Use filtered or bottled water only. These guys are super sensitive to any type of change. It should bounce back for you. 🍀
