Embarrassing but it happens. I totally over tortured this poor maranta. Potted it wrong, over watered etc.. it’s being blasted with humidity and some parts look like they might recover. Would you pull out what looks good and separate and prop the rest and see what happens before it declines more?

    I would get it out of the terra cotta pot and put it into a plastic one that’s an inch or two smaller. Then I would cut back all the rolled up leaves. If the stems/roots are still healthy, new leaves will grow back! Your idea of separating and propping would work too

      Terra cotta is porous and soaks up the moisture in the soil unlike other materials like plastic. Marantas prefer to live in moist soil, so a plastic pot is my recommendation. Terra cotta is great for cacti, succulents, ficus, and dracaena

      Could you mark how far it goes in soil?

      Do you mean like that? I’d just make sure the roots are covered

    Ok yes!! Here’s what’s good - the rest are gonna recoup in water. I just don’t wanna risk the good part declining

    This doesn’t look right and I know you suggest plastic but I’m notorious for overwatering

      Can you bury it more so that that node is covered? I would still suggest a smaller pot even if you still use terra cotta

      I don’t know why I put the 2 stems in there.. they do both have rhizomes though

      Looks better! You may get lucky with the rhizomes!

      I find my marantas root easily, but there has to be a beefy node!
