# I’ve struggled with my calathea orbifolia ever since bringing them…

_Publié par iamsarasofia le 2023-03-19_

I’ve struggled with my calathea orbifolia ever since bringing them home last August. I finally had them stable and in good health. Recently though I’ve noticed one has yellow/brown spots on 2 leaves and the other one has a large dry section that continues to grow bigger on the leaf.

Does anyone know the cause of this or what I can do?

I use filtered and purified drinking water on my plants.  
It’s currently 40% humidity in here. Typically though it’s usually between 40%-50% in the room.
