Common Problems!
1. Calathea leaves are turning brown
Under-watering and excessive use of fertilizer both can lead to the browning of leaves. Water your plant less frequently and reduce the amount of fertilizer you use if this problem occurs and persists.
2. My Calathea leaves are curling
A lack of moisture causes the curling of Calathea’s leaves. Make sure you are watering your plant enough to avoid this. You can also mist your Calathea several times a week.
3. Why are Calathea leaves yellowing?
Yellowing leaves are a sign of over-watering. If you notice yellow leaves, check the soil and roots. If the roots are too mushy, reduce the frequency of watering to avoid root rot.
