What else should I be doing! 😩 Miss peacock was fine during the summer and now she’s hating life. It’s dryer due to the weather so I added a humidifier. I water her with distilled water, indirect sun, not by any vents. I just want her to live ☹️

How much do you let the soil dry out in between waterings? It looks like it might be underwatered.

### Ash commented on 2025-12-24

I just started tracking the watering on this app so hopefully that helps. I watered today

Yellowing leaves starting from the bottom can point to overwatering/root rot as a problem. For my calatheas I water when the soil is 50-75% dry which I check with a wooden skewer or just looking if they’re in clear pots. The app usually errs on the side of overwatering so I’d make sure you check the soil dryness before watering.

Thank you

I mist mine every night basically maybe skipping one night a week. They like humidity from my experience.

Mine gave up the ghost even with following all the recommendations

I would recommend to change the soil, add more perlite in the soil for good drainage before repotting. Best of luck
