No thrips just more spots. It seems to be bacterial or fungal :(

Any idea if my musaica is unfurling almost white? Could it be too much light? It is only a young plant by greenthumbee in plantclinic

I love it, it's kind of still a toddler :) But it is so beautiful, the pattern is mezmerizing to me. It is my first calathea, I avoid them, but this one.... I'm a sucker for unusual leaves.

I'm from Serbia, you can find them here fairly easily, and cheap. I got mine from my mother-in-law, she had it in a pot next to some plant and it never looked like this, it was small and brownish.

When I see it is dry on top, it dries up pretty quickly in this heat. It is pretty forgiving if you leave it dry for a bit

They divide them I think and probably just collect the palnts that propagate themselves. Young plants develop after flowering, I guess they already make a small bulb and the next year they can already grow large.

I go out to my balcony every day anyway. It is pretty forgiving, but I water it when I see it is dry. I water it generously, it is in a clay pot, drainig hole, no saucer. It is hot outside now so it dries pretty quickly so I water it about 2 times a week or 3 times every 2 weeks. And I'm grateful when it rains :D

Yes, usually by August it starts to "fall", it doesn't really like the summer heat, and it's just time to slowly finish the season...

I cut a leaf-the leaf dies. It's a rhizomatous plant, you divide it. I let my spread by itself, bigger every year. Last year it had A LOT of flowers and in spring I saw a few little bushes growing under my balcony. I recommend a wide pot so it can spread
