r/calatheas

This is my only Calathea and my second attempt of saving a Rosy from Lowes clearance.

First photo is when I got it in March 2026 and the rest are from today (October 2026)

The first few months I didn't have any growth, I was struggling with humidity, and I lost some leaves. After I started a pebble tray and put a makeshift cloche on it's been doing great! I keep in a bright north window behind a sheer curtain, and water with distilled :)

My darling spouse surprised me with my first calathea a week or two ago. I quarantined it in a separate room until a few nights ago. I noticed that, at night, the leaves point up, and when I wake up in the morning, the leaves have fallen to a natural state. Pictures included!! I don’t think anything’s wrong (as it’s been watered and it gets good light), I just wanted to know if anyone knew why they do that? It’s funny!

That's it, suddenly I got this tiny yellow blossoms on two of my three calatheas.

La mia calatea stava crescendo bene quando improvvisamente si è afflosciata e sono comparse alcune foglie marroni. Credo sia stato dopo un annaffiatura con fertilizzante.

Cosa posso fare?

Grazie!
