GrootIs 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.

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!

Sorry I didn’t read your entire original comment and missed that you got it under control! Hopefully it recovers quickly!

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!

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

HayleyAgree 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!
