Can you help me save this plant?

#CathedralWindows
9ft to light, indirect
8” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 months ago
Maybe the room is not humid enough for it
@ExecSausagetree are the brown a crispy brown or.. idk a flimsy feeling? I ask because some of the leaves have the yellow and brown which could mean root rot/overwatering. I would check roots.. I am bad about overwatering my brats and have to battle root issues. So check roots, treat accordingly, repot..but #Calathea are picky brats.
Looks like either over or under watering πŸͺ΄πŸ’§or sun damage

Judging from the care card saying it hasn't been watered for 17 days, I would guess underwatered.

Does it get any direct sunlight?
Calatheas likes lots of indirect light, but the sun will burn the leaves.

The same goes for a grow light. If it is too close to the plant, it will burn the leaves 😌πŸͺ΄

The calatheas Windows is by far the most drought tolerant Calathea I own, but I also have a rather big specimen.

They need to never dry out fully, but they also should never stay sopping wet ☺️πŸͺ΄πŸ’§
