Probably humidity. Try putting a humidifier near her and it might help

Thank you! I’m going to try that

those self watering pots from walmart are highly likely to start root rot, if possible either get it out of that pot or water it way way less

#### Sandy님이 2024-06-30에 답변했습니다.

I read that. I haven’t used the self watering of it. Does it still cause rot even if I’m not using it in that way?

#### send\_nodes님이 2024-06-30에 답변했습니다.

Nope! As long as you’re not leaving water in the reservoir, it’s not using the self-watering feature

calathea can be very fussy about watering. they usually do well with “water little but often” - they’re sensitive to lime in tap water so you could try rainwater or filtered or a conditioner for your tap. The minerals in tap water can cause browning like this on the leaf tips

Yes! I switched to distilled water and my rattlesnake calathea looks much happier.
