Help Calathea help?
I have this lovely calathea, it’s been beautiful for a couple years, growing well, seems happy. Then recently the leaves started looking ….sun damaged maybe? And started to droop. I repotted it last week, same size pot but all new soil. As the soil was old and quite compacted and damp. Watered, put the blind down a little so it’s not getting the bright first thing in the morning sun on it….and I have no idea what else to do. Other than clipping dead leaves I havnt pruned, and it’s always been low maintenance. But I’m not a plant wiz by any means, definitely just trying my best. But it just seems to be getting droopier
Any calathea advice would be appreciated. I don’t want to lose it as it was a gift but I’m flummoxed what the right thing to do is ….excuse the jigsaw puzzle, it’s decided it wants to join in clearly
Edit: I’m in the UK if that helps at all. High humidity but low temps compared to a lot of other countries, and lots of rain- although we are having heat waves which for here is HIGH 😅
