Please share your secrets about looking after calatheas. For the last 2 years I have been trying to keep one alive and it has been a struggle 😞

Trust me I’m struggling a bit with this one too hahaha. It’s currently recovering from a spider mite infestation 😖. But to take care of it i water with distilled water and make sure the soil isn’t too moist but also isn’t completely dried out between waterings. I also have a humidifier running beside it for around 1h each day since it’s winter and make sure to keep it out of direct sun :).
