# Can anyone tell me what is going on with this pinstriped calathea…

Can anyone tell me what is going on with this pinstriped calathea plant? I’m following the apps recommendations for watering and misting. Do I need to cut them out or will they get better? Thanks

Looks like low humidity and possibly drying out too much in between waterings. I would cut them off as they will not get better

Ok thank you for the advice. I mist them in between waters

Misting may not be enough… I’ve found it never worked for me! If you don’t want to purchase a humidifier try grouping plants near this one or try a pebble tray with water.

Are you using distilled, filtered, or treated water? Calatheas have a lime sensitivity so you can’t use regular tap water. I use this stuff and it will last forever I just do one tiny drop per gallon jug.

I have only used filtered water. Maybe I’ll try distilled? Thank you for the advice

Yeah I would get a humidifier if you can
