Well I guess it’s time to say good bye to one of my calatheas. I tried everything to save her. My last ditch was to chop off all the leaves as there were all brown and crispy hoping they would return. It’s been a couple weeks and no growth. There’s no green left anywhere. But this cute little mushroom just popped up over night lol. My other calatheas is recovering a lot better and finally is putting out a new leaf.
Last ditch attempt I would put it in water. Did that with my agleonema and she’s finally bouncing back and showing growth… may still be too late for this one
0 likes Thank you. I will give that a try. It won’t hurt lol

I feel like I see bits of green at base in soil?
0 likes Yes I thought so too, but it’s just the perlite. Some of it has turned green 🤷🏼♂️
0 likes Oh yes I see that now…Darn! Was hopeful but hope the soaking does the trick!
0 likes Found some green stem lol. I rinsed the roots as best as I could. Still quite a few white roots. Quite a bit of dead roots. I have some trimming to do
If the rhizome is still alive and you have some roots left, it might have a chance. What do you think caused the plant to fail?
0 likes I have been struggling with them since the day in the middle of summer I was a month into owning plants and didn’t know better so I put them all outside on the back deck for a few hours lol. Now I know better lol one of my calatheas is just now putting out a new leaf after all of that. Also I repotted them in my own soil mix which sounded like a good mix, but held too much moisture.
0 likes Calatheas are not easy and I’ve killed my fair share. I’ve tried growing a few different types, using the same growing conditions, and managed to only keep a Calathea white fusion alive. lol. The plant is very happy but I periodically get spider mites and dealing with that at the moment. Don’t give up. I’m sure you will find the right Calathea for your space 🙂
0 likes Yes. My other calathea was looking just as bad but is slowly recovering and has given me a new leaf with two more on the way
Yay miny mushroom Freind!
