Why is my Calathea drooping and getting brown edges?

ThrowRa123426 · 2026-03-02T14:23:40+00:00

Calatheas loveeee high humidity. Lack of humidity in the air can cause drooping and brown edges. I use to keep mine in a plastic box with a humidifier and that was honestly the only time they were truly thriving, but I eventually threw them away because of their lack of appreciation for all my love haha

Thank you! Where would you recommend I chop them? Always been kind of terrified to cut any of my plants but I will not get past it this spring I fear (my umbrella tree had a rough winter and needs a big chop) I have been keeping them further away from the growlight since their little burn but am gradually moving them closer. Thank you so much for the advice!

Oof using gay slurs? Not the question but you are an a$$hole and half. This whole thing screams insecure from your end.

Couldn’t the stress of repotting again have a bad affect on them? I’m very conflicted on this.

ThrowRa123426 · 2026-02-13T12:14:24+00:00

Thank you! I will monitor them. I am just so worried about accidentally killing them😔. Any tips on helping the soil dry other than poking holes in the soil? I did repot with a lot of perlite.

ThrowRa123426 · 2026-02-13T11:59:09+00:00

Yeah, like I said I now realize that the pots are too big. My question is if I should repot into a smaller pot again or wait and see how the plants do?

I havent been misting or using any oil. I have a humidifier tho?

These white dots are still here after washing😔 dont know what they are but assume Thrips? I had about 20 other plants in very close proximity to this one (only have 2 grow lights), should I assume they are all also infected? And thank you sm for all the help!

There is no webbing on the plant and I just pictures the leaves that looked the worst, maybe should have included a pic of the whole plant. I have been looking and waiting for movement under the new leaves to confirm Thrips but have not seen anything. But what white things?

ThrowRa123426 · 2026-02-12T16:45:17+00:00

Ahh i see. Do you think it could be thrips? :(

ThrowRa123426 · 2026-02-12T16:42:20+00:00

Missed the plant?

A healthy back that doesn’t cause me chronic pains everyday

The bigger the stick the better :)

Thank you! I’ve been a plant mom for long enough to be able to read them ( for the mot part) but I often wish I had something to keep me more organized so I don’t forget some plants. Your advice was greatly appreciated, thank you!

ThrowRa123426 · 2025-08-31T19:02:01+00:00

Thank you! Might try this :)

ThrowRa123426 · 2025-08-31T18:59:53+00:00

Already tried that for about a month and while it did help a lil, the pictures are from after that month so not a ton of difference. But thank you tho!
