It looks awful. It's been hard to keep it alive. Leaves keep falling off. I put it in the kitchen and haven't really done anything with it, because I was giving up on it. It has another shoot but the whole thing died. How do you make these grow better?

Answer

It may be your water if you’re watering with tap. I have having that problem with mine and I switched to rain/distilled and that helped a lot. They’re very sensitive to light too so you want to keep it in a shaded area that get very little indirect sun

Answer

How far is it from a window? I find they really like bright indirect light. The pot you have for the size of the plant is too large so could be contributing to the growth dying. I find they also do well being in a mix of vermiculite and coarse perlite. Attached is a photo of my maranta. It lives in a 10cm diameter pot (to help gyou gauge how big of a pot you need (depending on the root ball of your plant)). Ignore the curled leaves; I juuuuust gave it a drink because it's thirsty

Answer

@TawaMari I actually find mine thrives in the window I have mine in

Answer

@foliagegirl mine is very picky, I’ve been toying around with it for like the last month. I think my problem might be the pot size too tho! Thank you for the info

Answer

I switched mine to purified water and she is thriving

Answer

Distilled water and putting it in the master bathroom so it gets humidity twice a day has made a massive difference in mine!
