_Geplaatst door cypher op 2024-04-15_

I’ve had this baby for a while now but i went on a 3 days trip and when i came back, her leaves were yellow and browning on the tips. She was watered the day before i left (Friday) and I got home this morning to this. Any ideas on what to do?

You could try misting it; from what I’ve seen that’s lack of humidity or slight dehydration. Also the yellow leaf near the bottom might be because of sunburn.

thank you so much!! i’m gonna head to walmart here soon to grab a spray bottle and some liquid fertilizer. i also rotated the plant because i noticed that one side of it was getting way more sun than the other.

Good idea! I hope all works out!

I would go with a small humidifier if you’re trying to improve humidity. Misting doesn’t really help and increases the chances of disease. Calatheas are also very sensitive to impurities in tap water, most require filtered or treated (like for a fish tank).
