Ahh!! Your ābeforeā is what mine looks like now. Iāve had it about 4 weeks. Heās got curling leaves and had some brown spots even when I got him. Not sure I have the right environment for it but Iām trying. What are your tips to make this guy happy???

Firstly I removed the worst of the sick leaves trying to leave at least half. I then put him under a grow light. After two weeks I repotted Warit into a special calathea soil and also into a self watering pot (from Amazon). I then also added the focus drip feed fertiliser to the pot. I also kept him isolated from other plants in my bathroom door 4 weeks. At that point I didnāt have a humidifier or drip tray so I would leave the bath with water sat in it to create a humid environment. Iād also mist the leaves a couple of times a week Once Warit showed signs of new leaf growth I moved him into my living room with other plants. Here he was placed on a stand with other plants to create a micro climate. I also had a humidifier I would run in an evening and humidity trays for each plant. I also released some predatory mites for thrips, mealy bugs and spider mites just to be safe. Once out of quarantine Warit was watered according to the planta apps suggestions depending on the top level of soils moistness So as you can see I went a bit crazy plant lady š¤£šš

Oh golly gee! Iām not sure Iām prepared for this level of high maintenance! Itās a beautiful plant though! I do take it in the bathroom when I shower a few times a week. And have been spritzing it with a water bottle. I donāt have the best room for light but I do have a grow light that I could give it. Iāll see how it does!! Thank you for your detail and experience!!

A humidity tray and a little cluster of plants will help maintain the humidity. The best thing I did though was the bottom self wafering pots. I think this stopped me from over watering and causing root rot!

I grow mine in pon in a self watering planter, water with distilled water and sheās near a north window. They donāt like too much light. But thatās pretty much all I do for her. š
