My guess is she’s over watered. I’ve had a similar problem plant recently. I finally really let it dry out, using a chop stick to open up the soil against the inside of the pot and gently pushing in, just to get some air in there. She is happy and thriving now and on a strict watering schedule. Good luck!

Thank you both so much!🙏🏻

Also keep in mind that prayer plants have a tough time of it in general in the winter due to lack of humidity. A humidifier wouldn’t be out of the question if you have one.

calatheas are VERY temperamental - true divas! so don’t worry too much.
