This plants are very picky, how often are you watering?
0 LikesI just fully watered both 1 week ago today till the water dripped out the bottom
0 LikesFor calatheas, I usually will let the top soil dry out about two inches down before watering again, you can check using your finger which is my favorite method or a chopstick (if the soil is wet it will stick to the chopstick, if the soil is dry the chopstick will come out dry)
1 LikeI’m afraid I’m killing them 😭🥲
0 LikesThat’s what I did and they were dry on chopstick
0 LikesIt could always be a lighting issue! Try moving it to a spot with different light but still bright if you can
1 LikeI only have 1 area that gets very brite light and it’s my from hall
1 LikeCalatheas like more water than other plants in my experience if that helps at all, keep the soil at the bottom of the pot moist at all times. Like they hate to dry out completely
1 LikeI have pebble trays under all my calatheas
0 LikesFunny my Calathea Makoyana don’t seem to mind my bedroom and I have 4 of them
0 LikesThose plants are super stable in my experience, makoyanas are prob one of the easier calatheas. But this one is a bit picker. I’ve noticed if a plant has white or some type of lighter variegation they are more likely to be picky
1 LikeThat one could be a humidity problem
0 LikesI have a pebble tray underneath it
0 LikesIt’s seeming like they need more water to me
1 LikeThe way the leaves are curling and crisping for calatheas usually mean not enough water
2 LikesThe soil is pulling dirt on chopstick
1 LikeMaybe more consistent watering and more humidity, otherwise I’m sorry I don’t know
1 LikeI appreciate your help, I’m a beginner at these types of plants
