Help! I'm new to Calathea and I'm worried about this plant it's leaves have been fading it's lost most of the pink since I got it a little less than 2 weeks ago, it's about 8 feet from a floor to ceiling west facing window in my office, when I got it from the nursery it was soaked, it had just rained the leaves were wet and the soil was very wet I let it dry out and just watered it today, the edges of the leaves feel crispy for some of the leaves but it's just the edge of the leaves. The second photo shows the leaves curling better.

    i’m not sure what’s causing the curling, it could be dry air, underwatering, temperature stress, or something else. i can however tell from the photos that your plant is not getting nearly enough light. the stems are etiolated or stretching towards the light. i would suggest moving it within 5 feet of the window so that your plant gets indirect bright light all day and an hour or two of gentler direct sunlight

    These guys like to lose their color if they aren’t getting correct sun, the curling could be indicative of a thirsty boy. The crunchiness I’m not sure about, temperature maybe? Dryness? Could also be dehydration along with the drooping. Maybe check out your little guys roots and see if they’re looking happy or not
