@plantsbymelissa: I have loved calatheas for a long time and some varieties can be a lot more difficult than others but this makoyana has been a favorite of mine. 🪴I actually grew her back from nothing so don’t toss them if the foliage dies and goes dormant. They are still growing underneath the soil and will eventually sprout new growth from the rhizomes. 💦 I’ve used different types of water for my calatheas and tap water has had the most dramatic response. My tap water is a little on the hard side and the harsh minerals can be a little tough on them making them more crispy and not as nice looking. They’ll get crispy tips it happens even in perfect conditions but increasing humidity and not using tap water has helped mine. I have used mostly rainwater for her and she loves it. I have also used filtered water and distilled. If you have RO water that is a great option too. Keep in mind RO and distilled you’ll want to make sure you’re adding nutrients so fertilize your plants for them to grow better and provide light 💡 ☀️ #calathea #calatheamakoyana #calatheas #marantaceae #prayerplant #houseplantlove #plantcare #planttips #houseplants #plantsoftiktok
