For the life of me I can not keep this baby happy! I had her part sun, outdoors, when I first got her and she curled up and dropped all her leaves. I moved her to an even shadier spot, she started to have some growth good growth but was still getting dark spots on her leaves and getting eaten, so I brought her inside (west facing window, part sun. Window has a film so no direct light) where she’s been for a month or two. She was looking like she was recovering good, had a new leaf coming up, then the other two leaves just curled up and died this past week. I have NO idea why I’m so bad with this plant 😭

    Similar thing with the same plant happened to me. I think mine was a victim of a spider mite problem I had with my queen palm. Here’s what I did: take it out of the pot and thoroughly clean the roots. Remove any bad ones. Put it in a jar with water. I used distilled. Mine was in a large jar with a couple inches of water just to cover the roots, that helped keep the space around it humid. Change the water often to keep it clean. Put it in a bright spot but not direct sun. Wait and shower it with good vibes. Mine now has 4 new leaves and is back in a pot with soil! I actually got this idea from another Planta user and I love sharing this success story. Love this app 😊 I hope you’re able to get your calathea to come back around!
