Is that a variegated maranta? The reason why I ask is because I just adopted one this past weekend to nurse back to health…and it looks almost the same as yours. If so, I can tell you what I’m doing to bring mine back. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/biX6E8djYifx2MvYLfGGuB1rmp8Klwvr29jmahU7vm4/K4UPEHOlTZaCv8UOLANBTw.webp?size=large) #### Kades님이 2024-10-03에 답변했습니다. I don’t know much about maranta or id try to help! #### Groot님이 2024-10-03에 답변했습니다. I’ve got mine under control…I basically rinsed all the bad soil off the root ball and mixed 1:1 ratio of Coco Loco by Fox Farms and organic Perlite. I think the reason why the leaves were discoloring was because of a nutrient deficiency. I have it all set now near a humidifier and it will get regular fertilizing, but I’ve rehabbed calatheas and it will take a while because with any plant in this family you can really only cut off about 25% of the leaves at a time without shocking the plant. We will see! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/biX6E8djYifx2MvYLfGGuB1rmp8Klwvr29jmahU7vm4/zJgXt6w_Su2svBmB2cAf5Q.webp?size=large) #### Kades님이 2024-10-03에 답변했습니다. Sorry I didn’t read your entire original comment and missed that you got it under control! Hopefully it recovers quickly! #### Kades님이 2024-10-03에 답변했습니다. I haven’t gotten into calathea yet, they scare me a bit 🤪😭😂 #### Groot님이 2024-10-03에 답변했습니다. Let’s hope so. If you can see the Rosy behind him, she’s a SERIOUS rehab from Kroger. Just one more leaf to cut off and all of her leaves will be new! _앱에서 2개의 답글 더 보기_ ### Kades님이 2024-10-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. I think this is a diffenbachia? If so, I’d get rid of all the dying leaves and repot it into a really airy soil mix. They like humidity and water but need the soil to dry out completely between waterings. I find mine super sensitive to the vents so I had to move it as far away as possible. I have mine in a cactus/orchid bark situation. The light level looks pretty good, just make sure it’s not getting any direct sun. They like bright but indirect ### Hayley님이 2024-10-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. Agree it looks like a dieffenbachia. My camille was not a fan of regular potting mix and nearly died. She looked very similar to yours in the way she wilted back. She's in espoma African violet mix and bonsai jack's gritty mix at a 4:1 ratio and she's recovering slowly but surely! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/E74oCroo69AYnE3elMqN0uKik2R2q0ROCGKjlRpMOR4/u5RturwoRaekp8Bi4ZR3rg.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
