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

0개 좋아요If 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
