Does anyone know why my plant has a leaf that turning yellow and brown? I just watered her yesterday, let the water drain out for like 3 hours and then I put the plug back in. I noticed the bottom of the pot was still wet so I just removed the plug again to let it leak water overnight. Did I overwater her or what could be causing her leaves to get like this? This is also my first time owning a plant like this, I placed her in my bathroom because I heard they like it there.

Update: I think my plant just got shocked that I placed her in my kitchen for a bit but she’s back in my bathroom. She even has a new baby leaf growing!

calathea are sensitive to minerals and chemicals in the water, they also require constant high humidity
