# Hello All, I am pretty new to the plant world. Thankfully a planta…

_Posted by Calathea Stella on 2026-08-27_

Hello All,

I am pretty new to the plant world. Thankfully a planta helped diagnose my Calathea Stella by saying it had Fungus. I was noticing the leaves looked droopy, the leaves edges were light brown but crispy, and I was getting these random dots all over different leaves. So today I repotted it with the purpose of checking the roots. For the most part they seemed good with the exception of like 3 moist stems. I removed those, and removed the spotted leaves. To be safe I sprayed the remain dirt on the roots with castle soap and then while repotting I sprayed it with neem spray. The leaves where firstly before with dirt so I had to clean them with some water. Although now I realize when I wash them they were a bit cold. My poor plant will be in shock for everything that I had to for it. Please pray for my plant 🙏🏼 right now it’s as all alone on a shelf to make sure it doesn’t spread to any other leaves. Anyone has any advice ?
