# I’ve been looking after my mums Calathea orbifolia which looked…

I’ve been looking after my mums Calathea orbifolia which looked originally like in the photo with the black background,!it’s gotten slightly better but lots of its leaves are brown and yellow, I’m not sure what’s wrong and how else I can help it. (I am repotting it as well)

It looks like it’s getting overwatered. And if the roots are not coming out of the drain hole on the pot, I wouldn’t repot it just yet.

It’s gotten much better
