Can anyone tell me what’s going on with this calathea please? I bought it like this and I’m just hoping I can help it if it has an issue.

My guess is light. I have a calathea that looked like this and struggled for a while, but once you find the right light and make sure the water is filtered it will go crazy and stay happy

Thank you. I’m just glad it’s not something that will be a bigger issue in the long run. Hopefully it’s happier with me than where it was but we will see.
