Membro Planta

My Calathea has been like this for a while and I don’t know how to get it back. I have changed pots/soil. I have tried not over watering it. It sits in by an east facing window which seems like a good spot from what I’ve heard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If the leaves are curled but the soil is moist, there could be root issues.

    When the leaves start dying, do they start at the tip and work their way down? Or is there a random spot that spawns in and gradually gets bigger?

      I think they start from the tip but I can’t be certain. The leaves that are left havnt browned but have all curled up

    I agree with the other person that it is likely a moisture issue. Idk if it is rot or not though, only you can check for that. I got a half dead rosy for $6 and that has by far been the most chaotic rehab experience. We've gone from 4 leaves to half a leaf. But we got 2 new shoots! She was mega overwatered when I got her and it was literally rotting her stems. However, her roots were still viable. With how well established yours is and the fact it is not in mass purging leaves, a repot into dry soil will hopefully go smoothly. I would leave her in that dry soil for 2 or 3 days before watering. This will give her time to dry out a bit and figure out her roots for the repot. These things take water damage soooo hard 😭
