That looks like tap water damage like mine had use aquarium water conditioner (I use api stress coat) in the tap water. They’re very dramatic about their water. Mine is just now recovering after months of a determined death spiral. Hopefully it can grow some new leaves not sure what the odds are when it’s down to one 🤞🏻

Definitely hard water burn. Try a rattlesnake for a heartier calathea. I don’t think there’s much hope when you’re down to one leaf like this 🙁

I read recently that the bathroom humidity thing has been debunked. That the inconsistency of the humidity (someone showering and then not) can do more harm than good

Thank you for both of your comments
