Is this a repotting fail? She was not doing so before I tried to replant some of the clippings, but she’s still really struggling. Plz help!

    I'm not sure how to help, but I do know that calatheas hate getting their roots disturbed.

    Were the clippings just leaves? Or were they from division and include roots?

      I divided the plant so it should have roots intact! The problem was that many of the roots were dead, so I had to mess with it a lot

    I find them to be very finicky. It could be adjusting from the repot or it may have been a watering issue since the roots were dead. Did you rinse them with peroxide before the repot?

      I’ve actually never heard of this before! Does it work well?

    That’s a calathea having a hissy fit. Make sure she’s in well draining soil… indirect light and put her in a pebble try for humidity and say nice words. They have very fragile roots… so make sure she’s not too wet and drains very well Check every week and look for improvement. When she calms down gently check for good root health

      She’s definitely a diva! I’m gonna replace some of the soil so she hopefully dries out a bit without messing with the roots too much. Thank you!!
