Does anyone know what to do?? My calathea hasn't been doing the best this week. Google told me she needed more humidity but that doesn't seem to be working. She’s been getting worse over the last few days with one of her leaves rolling up and wilting, and the other ones look a little lower too. Advice would be very appreciate, Cathy needs to live 🙏🙏🙏
Humidity is fine. Looks overwatered to me. Check the root system for rot.

I would guess overwatered too and mainly because that’s what kills mine when they die. Personally I really like these water indicator sticks from Amazon and find them to be very reliable. I know if it’s blue it’s wet for sure. And when it turns white, I double check it with my finger and sometimes give it an extra day to dry all the way out. Sorry your plant plant so sick.
Maybe add air circulation so the soil can dry out a little more and a little faster? That way she can still get watered and fresh nutrients but not stagnant.

This is the most underrated calathea tip in my opinion. I actually have several of mine in orchid pots for this reason, and I use a cover pot that's just a little too big so air can reach the sides. I also prop the orchid pot up on some LECA or perlite so air can reach the bottom. I do have to water them all the time, but I prefer that to losing them!
