Anyone know why this calethea vittata’s leaves are curling? I water when top two inches of soil are dry.

    i’m not 100% sure but it could be the water! if it’s not distilled/filtered i think that can happen. there’s tap water conditioner for plants you can get on amazon!

    i saw someone else say that it could be the water, that’s valid too, i only use distilled water, which is why i think it could be the fertilizer. it could also be inconsistent watering, there’s a lot of things it could be, also check your humidity if they’re dried out. i read that they like a good bit of humidity, if they are very soft and not dried up maybe you’re overwatering
