What’s wrong with my marantha?

4 years ago

Hi! I’ve had a beautiful thriving marantha for over 2 years, then something happened. I left for a month and had someone come water it while i was gone, but now she looks really sad. She‘s all wilted and stems are droopy. Could it be lack of water? or maybe shock from ice-cold watering? Or lack of nutrients? Any suggestions on what i could do? thank you so much!

I am going to guess this is overwatering or no watering for the entire month followed by overwatering. Their cutting easily root in water. I would make cuttings of anything and everything that is droopy but alive, get rid of yellowed parts and stick them in a vase of glass of water. Next, unpot to see if roots are healthy or rotten. Repot in fresh well draining mix if you see root rot after removing dead roots.
