So my boss asked if I could help her with another plant. I said “Of course! I'd love to! What kind of plant did you get this time?” She points over to the plant table and I see this poor Calathea ornata on the floor! “Did you set it next to the fireplace?!?!” I asked. I know these are tough plants but I've never seen one so bad. I pick up the pot (which is actually still in a nursery pot, they will usually get repotted in the prettiest pot, no nursery, no drainage, no worries 🥹) The cache pot is FULL OF WATER! Tap water to boot🤣🤣🤣 Welp, we found the problem! I was most shocked to find zero root rot, so that was great. Trimmed away and planted in my chunky mix. Wish her luck! Sorry I didn't take a before pic. I was too shocked to think!
