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

    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

      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?

      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.
