    Mine does that a bit too - but it’s healthy and growing new leaves so I just trim the brown spots on the edges of the affected leaves

      Thank you! Am I watering it too much or too little do you think?

      So hard with Calatheas - I’m no expert! I would be guessing…

    what kind of water are you using? caletheas dont like a lot of chemicals or minerals, so using filtered tap, distilled, or even water from an aquarium will work. these plants also like higher humidity, so a bathroom that has a good window could also be a good place for your plant. hope this helps!

      Thank you so much for this! I use tap water and sometimes mixed with a pump of plant biostimulant. I have an en-suite bathroom but with no window, but I’ve heard of people just bringing in their plants just when they shower? Thanks for your suggestions!

      yea, I think moving it when you shower would be ok :)
