Hi all, I have a Pinstripe Calathea and Iāve recently moved it to a more humid area with less temperature fluctuations. Itās doing well, but this one leaf is kind of worrying me. I am checking for root rot later, but, thereās a leaf that isnāt mushy but soggy in the middle. It does have leaf burns but I have solved the problem to that already, so thatās not an issue any longer. Itās just the singular soggy area that has lost color and foundation. Itās not rotting from the base up, so Iām not completely worried that itās root rot but I am still checking. Itās in good soil, and a draining pot and the other leaves are healthier than they were last week since I moved it to a better area. Any help would be absolutely awesome. Thanks! Also, any suggestions to better the leaf burn would be great as well. I believe I have it handled, but suggestions to help with stress and healing would be amazing as well! #Calathea

Calathea Zebrina Hey! For those who donāt use a humidifier, how do you keep humidity up for your Calathea zebrina (besides misting)? Do you use a pebble tray or anything else that works well? #CalatheaCrew #Calathea #Zebrina #help #NewPlantMom

Why are my plant leaves browning and turning transparent? Hello!! I got this beautiful calathea about a month ago. Since purchasing, Iāve noticed some of the leaves turning brown around the edges, but it wasnāt too bad to start. Whatās worrying me now is that the new growth is starting to have these transparent patches or white patches, and one of the new shoots didnāt even make it out alive; it turned brown and dry (see third photo), and didnāt even grow enough to unravel. For more info: itās about 2 metres from a south-east facing window. Iāve watered it twice since purchasing with tap water (I know this can be an issue for browning ~ I will get distilled water next). The soil is the same as when I bought it ā looks like regular potting soil with a bit of perlite? Im concerned itās retaining moisture for too long, so I may repot. Itās in a plastic pot, then in a plastic cover pot, both with drainage. I added some fertilizer about 3 weeks ago. Sorry for this bombing of info haha⦠I just know people like having this background to give informed advice!! Let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance!!!! š«¶š» #Calathea #CalatheaCrew #help

New leaves rotten I adopted this Calathea Medallion from Ikea on January. So far she was thriving, she growed 4 flowers in March and 4 new leaves were growing. However, only 1 of the new leaves has grown normal, while 2 of them grown yellow and whithered, with the stems flacids and not responding to the pattern of movement of the prayer plant. Ancient leaves are all still good. I've already removed the leaves; the base of their steams seem to be rotten. I'm considering repotting the plant, as it could be a root problem. If somebody had a previous experience and can give me some advices I would highly appreciate!! Thanks in advance! #Calathea #Calatheamedalion #medallion

Wishlist Plant Acquired. āļø Calathea Triostar!! I named her The Sanguine Star. ā I was selling plants & my handmade quilted trinkets at the farmers market and I caught a glimpse of her from afar at the booth across from mine. She called to me. So I decided to ask if they would trade her for one of my plants I had for sale. They happily accepted and I brought her home just a bit ago! Does anyone have tips for these? This will be my first one, though I have other calatheas and they seem to do well under my care. #calathea #calatheacrew #calatheatriostar #triostarstromanthe #newplants #stromanthe #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #jesssjungle

What do i do with my calathea? My calathea warscewicziis leaves slowly, all turned brown and brittle and curled on ends until, eventually, I had cut all of them off. I tried seeing if I could get more to grow, and it didn't do anything. I pulled it out of stratum to throw away but ended up just sitting it in the garage, and now I have new growth with its roots, not even buried and sitting in the garage. I'm not sure if I should bring it back in or if I should repot or throw in water. Someone help me with this thing. She is impossible! #calatheacrew #calathea

Hard is right #Calathea this rattlesnake plant is hilarious. Itās done nothing but whine about how it hates everything. Yesterday I put an ivy plant next to it and it flopped over like I hate it get it away. But funny thing is I was doing hydrogen peroxide treatments and accidentally dumped like 3 ounces straight peroxide in the pot then flushed with water and now itās growing its first new leaf in like 6 monthsā¦.. what kind of magic is that

Never give up! Never surrender! #notdeadyet #NewGrowth #itsabouttime #greggang My brother gave me this vittata along with a musaica and never never ctenanthe last December. The ctenanthe has been fine, and the musaica eventually put on loads of new growth when spring rolled around. This one did nothing. Itās been frustrating because I knew it had good roots, but it would not give me any new growth and the original leaves were starting to die completely. I was on the verge of throwing it out, but took it out to the enclosed back porch before we left on a 4 day trip. Apparently, it wanted to be warmer? Not one, but two new shoots! I had literally picked it up to throw it away when I spotted them! The house is usually around 70F, but it would have been probably close to 90F on the back porch. So now I wonder, should I just leave it on the back porch where it will be ungodly hot and humid all summer (central Indianaāthe corn sweat is real) or move it back inside until fall? #happyplants #calathea
