# Just looking for some advice if this is normal or if something is…

_Posted by Jess Krems on 2026-03-14_

Just looking for some advice if this is normal or if something is wrong. My lemon lime maranta has a ton of crispy brown edges on the leaves and I repotted it about a week ago because the roots were coming out the bottom of the pot and it definitely needed more space. It’s still giving me new leaves (3 more unfurled today!) and it did have a couple little skinny stalks with flowers (that I have since cut off) but I’m not sure what else this could be? It’s been in the same spot in our house the whole time I have had it and just in the last few months it’s been starting to do this. Any thoughts, comments, ideas welcome! Thanks.

I was having the same problem so I put it on a pebble tray with water.

Mine have their own humidifier i turn on each night for a few hours😏 they are very serious about their moisture routine and getting good beauty rest in the dark🤭

I saw a couple leaves like those on my rattlesnake Calathea. They were the shorter ones closer to the soil. So none of the newer leaves, to be honest. I placed the pot on a pebble tray and it’s helped. I also use a humidifier intermittently.
