@theloveofplants hi so I got Delilah 4 days ago on Tuesday from home Depot. She is currently in my bathroom where there is No cold air or cold drafts. The vent in my bathroom is rarely ever on compared to in my bedroom where I have my fan going most of the time.
I have not noticed any signs of pests.
This is my first calathea, in fact, I've only recently in the past week gotten into plants.
She looks super happy one minute and then sad 😞 I'll input some more pictures

First picture - 8:00 a.m. this morning. Second picture - 5:00 p.m. this afternoon. @JesssJungle I love that their nickname is Prayer Plant - suits the daily “movement” so well! @MockingJay Your plant is beautiful too! I just love the colors of these plants! 🪴
@theloveofplants Hi Rachael!
I repotted my Calathea in more appropriate substrate with higher nutrients, and her leaves are laying flat despite it being at night time. The leaves usually perks up and stands tall at night, but she's not very perky right now, is that possibly just due to the stress of the substrate change?

@slothz - Hi Emma! Thank you for reaching back out to me in regards to Delilah. When plants are first repotted, some go into a bit of “shock” for some time. I think that was a great idea to repot her in a better substrate. Greg has taught me A LOT about the importance of using better soil for my plants! 🪴 Look at us go! 🤗 How long ago did you repot Delilah? Also, did you change the pot size at all? And did you change anything else with the plants environment?
@theloveofplants thanks!
And I repotted her around 4 ish days ago and I didn't change location or pot size 💗
