Any Calathea lovers out there that can help me figuring out why this beauty is yellowing and jamming?

Looks like it’s not getting enough humidity and maybe too much water

Because caletheas are jerks! But seriously, lack of humidity I bet. What kind of water do you use? Caletheas aren’t fans of tap water. distilled and purified are usually good

Thank you all! I just got distilled water for this Ornata and a rattlesnake Calathea that I rescued recently. I’ll keep y’all posted if the issue is humidity or the water. I know that they adjust to your House temperature after couple of months, but that of course comes with a cost of losing a lot of leaves. I lost 20 leaves when I brought this home. It made me depressed until last week that I saw 5 babies coming to life!

They are sensitive to chlorine in the tap water.
