This maranta is in bad shape. I repotted it a month ago and it didn’t help. I’ve tried the greenhouse and other light conditions. Today I realized it has some spots on it so I used systemic insect control on the soil and neem oil on the leaves. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or any suggestions?

    What kind of water are you using? And have you given it any fertilizer?

      I’m just using tap water😬 I use fish fertilizer on most of my plants and it works great. I have a red maranta that’s doing amazing. Should I use purified or distilled instead?

      Marantas don’t really like tap water due to fluoride/chlorine in the water. It can kill them. I would recommend distilled water or rain water. The first thing I thought when I saw the pic is a water issue. So just try something besides tap water and make sure the soil stays moist. They are horribly picky about being too wet or dry.
