    I had to put my eyeballs back in my head when I saw this! Never seen an orbifolia this luscious. This is the only calathea on my wishlist and while I am intimidated by it, I am determined to try! I appreciate your tips.

    My neighbors abandoned this plant in a glass pot with no rolls. The roots were rotting and the only two leaves had brown/yellow tips. I took care of her and she was thriving, with five beautiful new leaves. Then I moved one month ago and she's not doing well again. I hope with your tips I'll save her. Thanks!!

    Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I am confused there are so many different names for those bulbs or rhizomes.
    If you take those off the plant and put the plant back in the dirt with just roots what happens to the plant and if you can start a new plant from the rhizomes what is the best way to do that do I dry it out and plant it at another time I don't find anybody's video just getting to that point. And when I search it you get videos about doesn't matter what plant nobody specific to this plant that I just bought. A couple of those bulbs came off did I just screw my plant?

    I get a lot of browning on my leaves. I keep it under a grow light, off side from light. soltech grow light. and I group all my calathea and marantas together with the humidifier right up front. water with distilled water. I'm stressed over this plant. I'm ready to give up. nexted up is switching to lecca.😊

    So, I am still afraid of leca. That being said I bought a mixed planter setup last year that has a pothos, flf bambino and calathea orbifolia in it. I want to separate these and I want to know if the calathea orbifolia will be dramatic and try to die on me. I don't care about the flf.
