# My Calathea I’ve had for about a year, her ends started drying out…

_Posted by Shaybay on 2024-04-27_

My Calathea I’ve had for about a year, her ends started drying out this winter and I think maybe I cut her back too far. I thought she was done for but she’s sprouted new life! That being said I’m thinking she may always be small now. Would it be a bad idea to plant another start of a Calathea with her?

I’d just repot it into a smaller pot and let her grow big again. I did this for my White Fusion which was on the brink of death but she is thriving now 🫣🙃

It wasn’t before her leaves all went bad 😔 now she has six new leaves and is filling it out!
