Hey Planters! I bought a sad-looking Calathea orbifola last week to try and bring it back to good health. Its new leaf is unfurling but it's quite pale, should I snip it off to encourage energy use elsewhere or will it brighten up?
I would. The edges of the new leaf look really crispy, too.

Crispy leaves could be a water issue. I used to use tap water but the plant dosent like the minerals so now I collect and use rainwater in all of my plants!! I hope mine grows this big someday!
