Calathea curling

I have this lovely network calathea and it’s been splaying out with curling leaves for weeks. It seems to be hanging in there and some leaves have dried up and fallen off, but these three leaves have been curling but still green and feel fine, I’m very confused!

That is pretty odd. Idk if I ever seen that reaction from any calathea before. Maybe a nutrient deficiency? Or too far from light? But still green and leafy. I’d be interested in what others have to think.

@AgaveSon I know it’s so weird! Calathea are my favorite and generally I do really well with them, and if I don’t have luck with a plant it’s very clear so I just have no idea about this one.

It might be a soil issue too. It’s almost as if it’s not drinking. My rehab for plants is stick them next to a humidifier and kept warm. Can always mist calathea. The stretching is weird tho.

@AgaveSon I tried repotting with fresh soil so we’ll see if that helps!
