Paint panels or not?

Paint panels or not?

We’re installing built ins in our basement guest room in large part to conceal the fuse boxes. The plan is to create magnetized panels to put over those sections that can be easily removed if needed and will look handsome when in place. The question - should we have those panels painted the color of the walls or white like the rest of the built ins? Thanks for any thoughts!

Help furry feather calathea!

Help! This plant has just never been happy since I brought it home ~2 years ago. For a lot of its time with me it sat atop a bookcase with an east facing window next to it and a south facing window 20 feet away. It wasn’t happy - browning leaves, dying leaves but continuing to grow a bit.

A few months ago I moved it into the shower thinking maybe it needed more moisture. It’s not directly under any water but gets the humidity and I spray it. It’s about 5 feet from a frosted south facing window next. I thought more light and humidity would please it but it seems somehow even more unhappy! Leaves are browning and so droopy. I have a prayer plant in a similar place and it’s much happier.

Please - what am I doing wrong? Should I repot or feed? Move it again? Thanks for any wisdom!
