Might be overwatered? I found that when I moved my Calathea to a more humid spot, she thrived!

What kind of water are you using when you water it?

Calatheas are finicky! I was struggling with a few of mine until I made some adjustments. I’d definitely make sure to water with filtered water and increase humidity in the room. Also, what kind of soil are you using? They like moist, but well draining soil to prevent root rot. I love the Pray for Us soil blend by Oh Happy Plants! Mine are thriving now that I made those adjustments :)

I have the Zebra variety. I use Distilled water \& water before it completely dries out.
