i water my calathea once a week but it is still dying. iāve moved it from a lot of sunlight to now just partial but itās still not flourishing. whenever i water it a orange liquid comes out the drainage hole. I repotted it a few months ago thinking it will help but it hasnāt. Does anyone know whatās going on? Please help, new plant mom here!!!
You donāt water according to a time schedule. You should water when the plant needs it. Top half of soil should be dry. So itās possible you overwatered or underwatered.

Dang I'm sorry š get all the brown leaves out of there. They are dead. That last green leaf i would stick in water for awhile until it gets better. Or use spaghnum moss. Although that last green leaf looks like its yellowing so it may be to late. It happens. I've killed many plants it just happens. I'm sorry.

Yes, I think it might be too late. I agree with the advice of only using filtered water or buy a bottle of fish tank water conditioner and add a few drops before watering.

Itās also important to know that calatheas in particular are very sensitive to the type of water you use. For all my other plants I use regular tap, but my calathea mosaic needs distilled water. Theyāre a tricky plant in general if you donāt know their preferences. Iām sorry this happened for you ā¹ļø
they are also big in humidity. was jt getting humidity when getting the sunlight?
