Anyone have any tips for calathea white fusion? When I got it, it looked like this but now it’s crispy and the variegation on the new leaves is becoming less. The problem is probably the light but regardless if anyone has one that’s growing really well I’d love to hear

Can you attach a picture of what it looks like now? What direction does that window face? I have a few tips and ideas, but I’d like to narrow it down first.

I know that they’re extremely sensitive to chemicals in tap water. I learned this when I got my Vittata. I was watering with tap water and started to get the crispiness. I switched to using a Brita and noticed an improvement.

Yes, skip the tap for all Calatheas.
