      Try using distilled water. Calathea have very little tolerance to minerals in water and brita filters still leave minerals 😊

    You can also use aquarium water conditioner (personally use api stress coat) I put that in my tap water fixed my problems. I also use pebble/humidity trays, boil water in an electric kettle and put that in the tray when it gets low. I just recently won the battle of my calathea’s determined death spiral. They need to put a warning sign on these at the store lol Good luck to you!

    My Calathea struggled and struggled until I put it in a humidity tank. It had half a leaf left. I keep the humidity around 60% and it now has 6 leaves with only 1 brown spot and 3 new leaves about to unfurl 🥰
