# Ok yall…. I just picked up this in need of help calathea for 3$. I…

_Posted by Jenna on 2025-01-20_

Ok yall…. I just picked up this in need of help calathea for 3$. I just repotted and watered, and I’ve been misting daily. I plan on getting a pebble tray going for extra humidity. Theres a bit of damage on the tips of each leaf. It’s in a bright but indirect light area. Any other tips???

Don’t use tap water it makes the leaves brown. I use a Zero water filter for all my plants but you can use distilled or rainwater too. And in my experience as long as you have 50% humidity or above you don’t need a humidifier. I only use mine during winter because it gets down to 30% with the furnace running.
