    Calatheas looooove humidity from what I read! Maybe try trimming back the brown leaves and put her next to a humidifier!

    This may or may not be the same plant. But in the same family anyway. Mine is ctanthe, never never plant. I would possibly repot (check for root rot), Trim off brown stuff, give it a good amount of light and water when top inch or 2 of soil is dry.

      I think yours might be a calathea. But I’d still do the same

      Make sure you trim off any of the rotten brown roots.

    If roots are brown and mushy or smell like rot ( not like soil) there is prob some rot. Trim off any brown roots and spray with H2O2. Use new soil. Only water when top layer of soil is dry

    These are very sensitive to minerals and chemicals in tap water. I’d water with nothing but distilled water moving forward. Give tons of light.
