Hey, I’m not sure what’s going on with my calathea. It just gave me a new leaf, but the other leaves are curled and drying. It gets a good amount of sun through the day. I water/fertilize by the app’s schedule. The first pic is on 5/15, and the second is now.

Should I take it out and put it in water? Thanks for any tips!!

I’m struggling with this same plant as well

maybe its low humidity? the tips of the leaves look a little crispy as well, so maybe try putting it in a bathroom, and that way it can be in a humid environment when someone showers

Yes!!! Put it in water! I just keep it in the pot and keep it in a bowl of filtered water

Mine was struggling also. I moved it to a window in my bathroom and it has been doing much better. They need humidity.
