Do not get one unless you like high maintenance plants. I wanted it to die but it keeps living now I have no choice but to keep taking care of it.

Pay close attention to light and water. Leaves and new growth will talk to you about their needs!!!

Requires humidity if you want beautiful leaves and no brown spots. But stunning plant

Idk what to do. It was so pretty and full with new leaves unfolding when I got her and now all leaves have brown and I’ve had to trim most off 😭. I’ve tried her in a couple different places but haven’t figured her out. I’m hoping I can revive her. This is the only plant I have a hard time with I’ve been able to bring others back or grow them from where they started but she just isn’t. 😔 I’m hoping what others have experienced will be true for me too đŸ€žđŸŸ

Best in high humidity, bright indirect light, very picky and it may take a while and a few brown or drooping leaves to get the right location for it.

Once you can maintain its needs its leaves grow large and nice and a pleasure to watch as it moves.

This calathea literally stopped me in my tracks when I saw it in the store! The leaves look and feel like bird feathers. They are whisper soft, hence the name “Whisper” for mine! So far, care has been easy but I have to pay attention to when to water since I don’t think the app has a firm grasp on it yet. Also, the leaves tend to droop a bit during the day and perk up in the evening. Seriously though - this plant is gorgeous!

The leaves turn brown often and it has had aphids that I had to get rid of on the leaves. It seems it needs a lot of TLC!

Before purchasing this plant, research how to care for it because once it browns it’s so hard to revive.

Beautiful color but like distilled water and high humidity. Care for her accordingly

These plants literally tell you what they need!!! She was beautiful yesterday when I went to bed and this morning she looks like I haven’t watered her in weeks!!!! She’s completely closed up, dropping, the whole nine yards, but I know by tomorrow morning she’s going to be beautiful again!

Came with crispy broken leaves, I am assuming broken via transit. The plant survived and is even now sprouting new little saplings all along the bottom under the leaves closest to the soil. I do have it next to a humidifier which may have stabilized the environment for him.

Mine has a drainer, so it seems to be doing amazing with that. It’s a beautiful plant and really easy to take care of as it doesn’t need to be too close to a window.

Brilliant plant but you need to get its positioning right as can be a bit fussy with light/shade

I find this plant dries out easily and the leaves can get crunchy and brown. Kinda sensitive.

My plant is doing alright compared to the other reviews i read. It came with curled new growth, they still havent completely unraveled but i give all my plants brita filtered water so it likes that. I saw a lot of ppl said distilled, but brita seems to work. Shes in a drainage pot. Near the window but we keep it cool in the house. Been spraying curls to unravel them.
