Ohkay, ForTheRecord, adding Hydrogen Peroxide to your water DOES NOT dry out your plant... it releases more oxygen into the soil, helping to aerate the soil and providing more oxygen for the roots to absorb.
Can You post a current picture of your plantbaby so I/WE can get an idea of what's going on, @ChampZucchini?

Repotting is generally kind of traumatic by itself. I would lay off the peroxide. How did the roots look? I recently made up some fertilizer with used coffee grounds , a teaspoon of cinnamon and a cup of club soda. My plants seem to like it. Something I don’t do on a regular bases but every few months. I also learned when I have a plant that is just not perking up, when possible I take it out if the dirt and just put it in water. I never use tap water. Usually distilled.
@WhizBoneset Hi, good idea, also I forgot to mention I have a fan, on low level, facing plants...reason? blow away any gnats, bugs etc. I turned it off. I'll post another photo.. Thank you
@JustPlainDee yes, I'll post another photo. I forgot to mention I have a fan on the lowest level facing plants. I turned it off reason. I had a huge gnat problem in the past. Crazy? Yes.
ooooohkaaaaaaaaaay... your Athena is a picture of a MOISTure-stressed #calathea plant, @ChampZucchini. When the leaves start to "tip" (turn brown on the tips), that's your plantbaby signaling that the atmosphere is too dry, it needs HUMIDity. When the leaves brown and become crispy, that's a result of underWATERing... you're allowing the soil to dry all the way out and be dry to long between WATERings. The inconsistent WATERing is stressing Athena.
Depending on your Zone and the season, You should be WATERing Athena atleast every ten(10) days. 🙏🏽
Try giving her a good WATERing-through with some Epsom Salt and fertilizer (if You have it) to give her an IV of nutrients... move her from beside the window for a few weeks while she rehabs, she's getting heat but not enough water so she's dehydrated, ohkay?
🌿 Good Luck! 🌿
