I was wondering if anyone knows why my Calathea has tiny brown spots on the tips of her leaves. Any advice would be really appreciated! I feel like overall she is a happy plant but there’s always room for improvement :)

They really like filtered water. If you live in a hard water area try and filter the water before watering her. Calatheas are fussy Evian drinkers 😂
