The other Calathea I have has been thriving and growing the 8 or so months I've had it. I've watered it once a week. Now that I've accidentally watered it more it is not doing well :( so will have to let it dry a little.
Itβs been my experience that plants that are thirsty will produce leaves that are curly or deformed, the leaves on that one look a little curled to me.
Nice plant, if anyone in here is good at making these flourish please give me all of your tips, I love leafy greens but they always seem to shrivel up and die in my home.
This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.
If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.
Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.
Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.
Guidelines:
Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.
That one looks a little thirsty. Calatheas are notorious for being difficult, they need a lot of water.
What makes you say it's thirsty? :)

Aah, I think it's supposed to curl a bit, but idk. Will see what happens once I've potted it and cared for it for a while π
I thought it was a stromanthe triostar, but I see now itβs a different one. Idk.
