Is there any way to help her? I’ve been watering according to the app. She got some little white bugs all over her but they seem to have gone away.

Is the soil still wet when you water or is it super dry? They like to be evenly moist (like a wrung out sponge). Also what kind of small white bugs? Depending on what they were/are, they could be the reason she looks like that. Even though you don’t see the bugs anymore, I would go ahead and treat with an insecticidal soap or dead bug brew.

Also the prayer plant family is very fussy for the most part. I have quite a few and some of them thrive while others struggle for a bit before I find my groove with them.

I always make sure the soil is at a good level of moist and I’ve treated with a bug spray, I’ll try the dead bug brew though, thank you!

Also how is the humidity where she is? Forgot to ask about that.

I’m unsure, they were little clusters, looked like eggs, but some were crawling around

Are you watering with distilled or rainwater? Calatheas can be really fussy with minerals in the water, and don’t do well with tap.
