Make sure that you are only watering with distilled water for that one. It is super picky and it will also prevent the crisping at the bottom of the leaves that can develop. Also make sure it’s in high humidity too, it helps prevent the yellowing, they love high humidity. I bought a humidifier just for that calathea

I use rain water instead of distilled because it’s easier for me to get my hands on so that works as well 👍

And make sure that pot has drainage. I can’t tell from the pic. Rainwater is a great source for watering if you can gather it. Mist that baby every few days too!
