Many thanks for your help. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/kBLrKw50TlpW5NTIj4Fg8a3nDN6fhaR4dphjH8Sk8Jw/k2xFG5RlT7OuLt0j_04aZQ.webp?size=large) ## 13개의 댓글 ### Tellie님이 2024-04-16에 댓글을 남겼어요. Not a monstera or zebra. Looks like a dieffenbachia. I believe is how you spell it. They aren’t same thing. #### Tanya님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. Another name for it? I got it from ikea about 2 years ago #### Tellie님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. Prayer plant also known as Calathea? ### Shelby님이 2024-04-16에 댓글을 남겼어요. It’s some type of Calathea, but not sure if the specific variety. Mine have this problem when the humidity is too low. #### Tellie님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. Golden Mosaic? #### Shelby님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. 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. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pPNibmpHXw-FGQTdkBFwDDtp2vLcbmQ78XKn08vE30A/7h-YObpaTq2xzTtm7e0UHQ.webp?size=large) #### Tanya님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. It had really soft velvety leaves. Do you think maybe it’s the hard water? Maybe it needs filtered watered? #### Shelby님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. 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. #### Tellie님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. 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. ### Kels님이 2024-04-16에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. #### Tanya님이 2024-04-16에 답변했습니다. This is exactly wat I was reading about. Or it said about rain water too. Because we have really hard water. ### S.R님이 2024-04-16에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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? #### Tanya님이 2024-04-17에 답변했습니다. Webbing? Where, on the leaf? No, I’ll have to inspect closer.
