Hi @LogicalOnion67.
As a Calathea, there might be a number of reasons.
Too much light (don’t like direct sun).
Too hot/cold.
Too wet/dry.
Inconsistent watering.
Drafts/heaters.
Bugs.
Compact soil.
Too much fertilizer.
Wrong water (doesn't like too alkaline water or minerals in water).
Too dry air (they like it humid).
Change in environment (they need time to acclimate).
Recent repot.
You looked at it wrong.

Tell us a little more about your situation and care-routine, we might be able to help you😊
Thx. I will move it and see it it helps. Using tap water, we have well and self watering.
It's a new plant, in a self watering pot.
Might have had it too close to the windows.
