Any advice on why the leaves are turning yellow and curling at the edges? Roots look healthy and there’s new growth coming in. Thank you!

could be the kind of water you're using - calatheas dont like a ton of chemicals or harsh minerals in their water. using distilled, rain, or filtered tap can help keep the leaves looking nice :)  
it could also be a humidity issue. i have all of my calatheas in my bathroom so they get some of the extra steam from showers. pebble trays and misting are a bit controversial in the plant community as they dont always help, and alot of people find that running a humidifier is more beneficial. but find what works for you!  
good luck!!
