Can someone please help. What might be the issue of this plant? I think it’s a monstera? Or zebra pant? Same thing? Many thanks for your help.

Not a monstera or zebra. Looks like a dieffenbachia. I believe is how you spell it.  
They aren’t same thing.

Another name for it? I got it from ikea about 2 years ago

Prayer plant also known as Calathea?

### Shelbyさんが2024-04-16にコメントしました

It’s some type of Calathea, but not sure if the specific variety. Mine have this problem when the humidity is too low.

Golden Mosaic?

#### Shelbyさんが2024-04-16に返信しました

Could be! It’s hard to tell with how damaged the leaf is. Mine is a zebra calathea and looks really similar to that but there are so many different types I can never tell unless they come with a tag lol.

It had really soft velvety leaves. Do you think maybe it’s the hard water? Maybe it needs filtered watered?

#### Shelbyさんが2024-04-16に返信しました

It could be! I use plain tap water for mine and haven’t had problems but a lot of people do (I think I just got lucky that my water has very little lime). Try switching to either distilled water or filtered water that has some aquarium conditioner added to get rid of the remaining minerals in the water and see how it goes.

#### Tellieさんが2024-04-16に返信しました

I use filtered water from the fridge or like the gallon jugs from Walmart.  
Our city water most of my plants did not like.  
Fridge water I fill the watering can the night before so it’s not cold.

### Kelsさんが2024-04-16にコメントしました

My Calathea has the same problem and I think it’s because of too much like in the water. We have really hard water. Try repotting with fresh soil and only watering with filtered water. Those leaves will not get better but you’ll be able to tell with the new leaves if it’s working.

#### Tanyaさんが2024-04-16に返信しました

This is exactly wat I was reading about. Or it said about rain water too. Because we have really hard water.

### S.Rさんが2024-04-16にコメントしました

While I agree with all the comments above regarding the plants ID and recommendations about water - I think I see some webbing in the picture when I zoom in. Have you ruled out pests like spider mites?

#### Tanyaさんが2024-04-17に返信しました

Webbing? Where, on the leaf? No, I’ll have to inspect closer. Thank you
