Need expert advice on my Calathea Zebrina
Hello!
I'd love to get some advice on what to do about my Calathea Zebrina! She's very droopy and never puts her leaves up into the prayer position. Tonight, I noticed how some stalks (pictured on the right side of plant) are drooping really badly. I'd like to get her back into tip-top condition but am unsure where to go at this point.
A little background: I love Calatheas and have 6 of them now. the Zebrina was the first purchase when I had no idea what I was doing. So at first she got some direct sunlight, unfiltered water, low humidity and no plant friends. This changed and care is as follows (since about 2-3 months ago):
- Humidifier on 24/7 set at 60% +
- Daily misting
- Watered with filtered water
- In bright, indirect sunlight (and now an LED grow light for about a fortnight)
- Surrounded by plant friends
- Planted in well-draining soil and allowed to dry out a little before watering (I have a moisture meter)
She has several brown-edged leaves from the bad care days, but has slowly been improving. I removed about 3 especially bad leaves, but left the rest. The only thing I am now worried about is how droopy the leaves are, and now especially the droopy stalks. Can anyone advise what I can do about the drooping? Also might be important to note that I am currently at the beginning of Autumn and heading in to winter (although I have the grow light), so I'm unsure about doing anything too drastic.
Very keen to hear any advice!! <3
