What’s going on with my Calathea Dottie? It continues to produce new leaves but all the leaves just die off. They turn brown around the edge and then continue to get worse until they die.

hove you tried checking the roots?

#### Maddie replied on 2024-09-22

No…

i would definitely try repotting and checking the roots to make sure there’s not rot, no big deal if there is cut the rot off all the way to the healthy root

#### Ava replied on 2024-09-22

i only say this because something has to be going on for the new leaves not being able to stay alive especially if the other ones are alive in the conditions you already have it in

Too much sun? (Depending on what direction that window faces…) it could be too hot/ sunny for this plant.

Okay

It’s in a east window

Mine is very much drama. I have mine sitting right next to a humidifier otherwise it would just turn brown and die
