# I have always had such a hard time with this guy. Obviously too close…

_Pubblicato da Show me the Greens! il 2024-06-14_

I have always had such a hard time with this guy. Obviously too close to the sun because of that yellow leaf. But there are flowers?!  
It’s always been droopy… any suggestions? 😕

The yellow leaf might not be a sun issue. Sunburn usually looks different from this. To me it looks like possible overwatering. Or watering with water it doesn’t like. They can be kind of sensitive to both. If you know it isnt that and it’s just one of its mature leaves it could just be natural.

I really had a hard time finding the right balance for my maranta! It did so much better when I watered it less and used filtered water. It is so much happier now. I took someone’s advice on here to cut the flowers so the plant focused on leaves. I even cut it back to propagate because it was doing so well! I wish you luck! You’ve got this!

Mine just recently died. She was doing great and full and so happy and then it seems like it went down hill fast. Hope to get another one soon. Good luck with yours, mine never pushed out flowers like this.

I water every 4 days and I use rain water for this one. It’s on a bright room but gets indirect light. Seems very happy!

Oh and I remove all the flowers also.

That’s one of the happiest calatheas I’ve ever seen, great job! Does the room have high humidity?
