#Calathea #CalatheaCrew I have 3 calatheas and two of them right now are really struggling with brown edges. I do have rocks to add humidity and I water them when they're still moist. They're near an east-facing window but I don't think there's too much sun. Is this just something I need to live with with calathea? The zebrina was in terrible shape when I got it so I'm mostly glad it's alive. They're both putting out new leaves all the time.
4ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

@quadmoniker it does feel quite impossible to keep a Calathea with no brown spots🙈 Some types are easier/harder than others. Some grow out of their brown spots, some grow into them😅 I have a beautiful Illustris that I managed to keep spot-free in its first two years, but as it exploded in size, I don't seem to get in front of the spots after last winter🤷♀️
The Makoyana are easier though, mostly because it grows so fast I can just cut the ugly leaves off and still have a full plant🙈🪴
They might react to just a small temperature change, draft, a little inconsistency in watering, too much or too little light or humidity or fertilizer. Something in the water or soil they don't like, the list goes on and on😅
You might get lucky and hit their sweet spot some day. But that might change again before you know it, soo😅 But you can cut off just those brown parts for looks, if you want🤷♀️ I think Orbifolia is one of the more temperamental ones😅
