- How to save or revive a dying Calathea plant? Calathea is one of the most sensitive plants and they die even if we do little bit here and there. The initial symptoms is visible on leaves - they would become crispy and start drying. Or in fact, sometimes leaves would curl inwards and edges would become brown. Here in this video, I have shared a very simple method of reviving a dying Calathea plant. In case, your plants are not healthy, then try this method once and I am 100% sure that it would work.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I used this exact same mix on my dying Calathea and it came back to life! It’s flourishing and growing more than it was before. I have a north facing window and I live in CA so pretty good sun year round. I bought the sand (regular gardening sand) and vermicompost from a local plant store. I water about 1/wk. The plant completely died at first and I was skeptical but started to grow back in about 4 weeks and it hasn’t stopped since. Plz try this soil mix!
You are most welcome and I am so glad to hear that, your dying Calathea is growing nicely :-) Like I informed in the video, I have tried many different ways and finally got this solution. It feel so great that it's working for others too (which was my real aim)
Finally, THANK YOU so much for sharing your experience. Very soon, I am going to share how to grow healthy Calathea plants. The current temp in my place is quite high and it's 37°C [98.6°F]. Quite difficult to manage them in such climate. Still trying my best to keep them happy.
"Unable to be satisfied" is the most accurate description of a calathea that I have ever heard!
Couldn't agree more! Will never be getting a Callathea again...
Calathea is definitely the most troublesome plant I've owned so far! I found that they really do not like direct sunlight, or extreme cold. Mine is in a peat free compost that needs a slight replenish now, and it's recovering really well!
Well I'm impressed!! I was not expecting that it has transformed amazingly . Going to have to try this on my calthea.
Beautiful recovery for the plant. Calathea are very difficult to take care of though some of the most beautiful plants. Thanks for the wonderful tips for care taking.
Glad you liked it and thank you very much for your words. Totally agree..extremely beautiful..but tough to manage :-(
You aren't the only one friend. I have tried so many times. Thank you for the video
Glad I could help and thank you so much for your words :-)
In the last year, I have lost a couple of beautiful Calatheas. But I hope to follow your tips of advice and make my plants survive and grow well.
Sorry to hear that..they are really fussy plants..Wish you all the best and surely they would be doing well :-) As of now, I have 5 Calathea plants (killed many more before that as I was not doing this). Now I am confident that I can buy more :-)
Wow I cannot believe how healthy and grown it looked after 90 days!! I just got a calathea yesterday that was in terrible condition and I am hoping to revive it. Wish me luck!!
Thank you very much for your words! Wish you all the best and I am sure, your plant would revive well. Soon, I would upload one video about Calathea and there I would cover 3 more varieties with some additional details. All 3 are doing fine as of now :-)
How is it going??
I tried to switch it to hydroponics and it got completely root rotted :( total fail, which I am super sad about because it was a beautiful huge plant@@twix9456 Should have done this method lol
I love how your Calathea thrive after d repotting! My share with Calathea is that after I re-potted them then I placed them near my fish pond. They ❤️❤️ d humidity. I also tried once placing them in d bathroom it works wonderfully 😻. Thanks again!!!
Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your words! Totally agree with you..along with all other things, Humidity is really important and I am glad your plants are doing well, great job Indeed! I have tried that too (placing them in d bathroom)..but unfortunately, light in my bathroom is bit low. Plus, Humidity in my place is always high. Anyway, like I mentioned in the video, many Prayer plants and Calatheas died on my hand (sorry plants) and I am glad that now I can make them grow well. Very simple solution but I do agree that right environment is the most important thing.
I tried your soil mix .my plant is doing well.hv gained confidence of buying more calatheas now.
Helpful info to save dying plant
I have also dying calathea...
I will try these tips.
Wish you all the best! After a long time, hope you are doing great :-)
Fantastic video.. A practical one with a demonstrated proven successful outcome. Thanks!!
Glad you liked it and thank you very much for your feedback :-)
Very informative video ... 🌟 Thanks for sharing 👍
Yes, perfect. Your mix is very cheap and does a very good job. I use sand, some clay pebbles and orchid mix to make the pots lighter.
Thank you very much :-) Your soil mix looks great too! In fact, I have one similar recipe like yours which also does great! Would share in next video about Prayer plant - again one very notorious but very very beautiful plant..he he..
Increíble!! Es maravilloso!! Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde República Dominicana 🇩🇴 🙏🏻🥰
Muchas gracias 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
Very impressive recovery! Have you ever had a flowering Calathea? Many years ago someone gave me a plain Calathea that had the most fragrant flowers!
Thank you very much :-) Yes..the other one which I have shown in the video, flowers every year. Wish, I had a footage :-( This year, going to record it for sure.
@@GardeningUpbeat Is it fragrant?
I couldn't find any...though, didn't check it from too close..
It’s not the same plants
@Mila Fetalvo, Sorry, not getting what u are saying..I said, I got the flowers on the other one (leaves are big and taller) which I have shown in the video and of course, this video is not about my other plant.
In case, you are referring to something else..well, I would just pass that to you. It's your choice..But, Plz make sure to come back to my Channel again and you would find one of the most beautiful Calatheas you can ever imagine. I am working on it..Like most of my videos, I don't upload without getting result. Thank you :-)
Thanks for the tips...very helpful 🙏
Glad to hear that and thank you so much for your feedback :-)
Great job recovering that plant 👏 My calathea is getting beat up by the Canadian winter dry air lol husband doesn't want a humidifier. She is hanging on decently though, your video gave me hope for lots of new growth in spring/summer 😁
Glad you liked it and thank you very much for your feedback :-) I ca understand..here thing is opposite. In Summer it's too much hot and it becomes very difficult to manage them..he he..Wish you all the best and definitely she is going to do better from Spring onwards!
Great video. Concise and wonderful results. Im gonna try because my plant looks like the before picture. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much for your feedback Ma'am, appreciated and wish you all the best!
I can’t even believe this! I always naturally just assume that once a leaf shows ANY sign of distress that it’s a goner…and I cut it off. Boy have you proved that assumption wrong! I actually have 2 peacock Calatheas just like this and they’re doing very well, tho they need to be repotted. I cut several lower leaves off of one of them as they were getting all spotty - but new leaves are still growing. (I think the spots are due to too much moisture and needing to be reported) I thought Calatheas don’t like direct sun, and you proved that wrong as well! Also, my Calatheas came from Canada in only peat moss, and since they’re happy in it, I’m just going to keep using it. Thanks for this video!
My Callathea has been a pain in the ass! It kept losing leaves but trying to grow new ones. The new leaves kept dying/shriveling/etc. It was in a pot too big for too long I think. Re potted it in a smaller pot but no matter what I freaking do it doesn't want to live. I only water it once a week. I was misting it, but now stopped. Now it has no leaves. Gonna give it 3 months to see what happens but then pitching it if it doesn't grow. I'm pretty done with this one. Will never get another again. I have a green thumb. I have between 40 and 45 plants and succulents and most are doing really good! I struggle with succulents because I tend to over water but getting better. Another plant that is impossible is the Zebra plant, also known as "tiger" plant. You learn which ones to stay away from over time. But overall it's very satisfying :)
very beautiful sharing 😍 happy gardening
Thank you so much 🙂
good morning ☕ornamental plants are fertile again after the treatment, thank you for sharing 🪴🌿🌱👌👌
A calathea is a Goldilocks plant - not too much sun, not too much water, after thriving and flowering, my calathea died from root rot 😔 (despite me being careful with watering).
Sorry to hear that..happens with everyone :-( In fact, before this, I also killed many more beautiful Calatheas. Long back, I have actually decided not to buy another Calathea. But whenever I see them in garden center, I can't help myself..he he..
Would love to hear your type of environment/weather when discussing successful potting mixes (ie hot/cold, dry/humid, indoor/outdoor, distance from lighting, North/South/East/West window?)
Fantastic result!
Please accept my apologies for the extreme late reply (it doesn't happen usually). After many days checking comments on this video and found that, it's really important. I have already uploaded the video with complete update [temp, humidity details in my place] and here it is - th-cam.com/video/E89xJYjLTwo/w-d-xo.html
P.S. - If I am not wrong, you have already commented in that video. I am adding my reply here so that others find it useful.
very good video brother!! thank you. it helped me alot.
Very useful info, Thks !
Hello there, I bought a calathea with shriveled up leaves, but I bought it anyway, and I am enjoying seeing the leaves open and close, so I know there is hope for her, good info.
very informative, all my Calathea's plants are not growing well, all are in dying verge, I have tried many ways but no positive result, now am surely gonna try this.
A subscribers from Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh.
Thank you very much and glad you find it informative. Sure..wish you all the best and I am sure it would work. Please note - as it's dormancy time, you would get better result if you do at the end of Feb. That time, they also start producing new offshoots. Thank you once again and you are from my neighbor state :-) Me from Ghy :-)
Khubii informative video. Amar calathea khub kharap condition. Patar tios brown. Ebar apnar video anujayee potting mix e gach ta repot korbo. Thank you .
Thanks for your tips sir
You are welcome sir :-)
thank you SO much for this!!!! a more granular mix seems to be the answer!!
You are most welcome and agree with you! Thank you!
Very nice ❤❤❤
Thank you for this i love calatheas i live in a basement i use grow lights and they are doing amazing and they don't get sun burnt 8 different varietys ❤
You are most welcome and thank you for sharing your story..that's really Amazing :-)
I love your videos very much 🥰
Thank you so much 😀
I transferred my dead calatheas to a clay pot and place a pot dish at the bottom.Usually calatheas loved clay pots.I observed my silver plate calathea recovered better remaining in clay pots compared to the ones who were on plastic pots.
Useful video 👌👌👌
Thank you very much Ma'am :-)
Very nice
hi.i can totally relate to your situation. I am also struggling to find a good place for calathea .it won't produce that many new leaves..I am gna try ur soil mix.lets see how it.goes
Wow wow wow, that's amazing!!! I might have to try that potting mix if Spring doesn't revive my less happy calatheas. :)
Glad you liked it and thank you So So much :-) I don't think you would need to try this..as I remember you saying about your Calatheas last year..they were doing well and even flowering too :-)
@Gardening Upbeat the one who flowered is the one who is grumpy! It is winter, so some leaf loss is normal, so okay.
Meanwhile my jasmine are blooming again well, following your advice!!!!
Grumpy....nice word for Calathea..he he :-) Yeah, he would be fine soon. It's just the weather and so bit upset :-)
Thank you very much for letting me know and I am so glad to know this! Well, the result is not because my advice actually..you are already an Expert Gardener! Marry Christmas in advanced :-)
Great work! I thought those tubers were corms thank goodness I did not rip them off very informative.
Thank you So much and glad you liked it 😊
This gives me hope. I loved my calathea so much, and she was getting HUGE until spider mites took her out. At least I think thats what it was.
Wow, thank you so much
You are most welcome 🤗
May I ask please what is your growing environment like? Temp, humidity and light?
Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Thank you
What an amazing revival ❤.
OMG, that is my calathea right now! I will follow everything you say! (I hope I can provide a positive update in the future.)
I can totally related to and wish you all the best! Definitely your plant would do well!
Any update? How did it go?
They are not too difficult if you research their Habitat. I got one from my mother. Its doing good after some mistakes in the past
Thk u very much sir.
You are most welcome and sir is not required actually :-)
Great video as always 😊 Thank you for sharing and happy gardening. I'll be propagating my calathea this weekend and make a video. Have a great day and happy gardening 🌿🌱😊🤗
should you cut of all leaves of the old dying leaves before repotting? because I assume by cutting them the plant can focus its energy and nutrients to grow new leaves.
Just Repotted 3 days ago and leaves are dropping. Should I water or should I not?
After repotting, do we mist everyday?
👌👌👌
Did you cut off the browned leaves? I didn't think leaves lost the brown once they started browning. Did you cut the brown leaves off once new leaves started?
And do you think this would work if a plant had all leaves die? My calathea had all leaves die off (after I accidentally left it in a position which got a really cold draft overnight when I forgot a door open in Winter) and one new shoot popped up from the roots a few weeks later. I've been too scared to repot it in case I kill off the one shoot that has emerged
I am going to try sand and compost mix.
One query though- the nursery bought calatheas are very healthy but hv very bad soil. How did the plant grow that good? They give any fertiliser?
I learned a lot from u but i request u to please add date and season of your area so that we get better idea when to do the changes in our plants. Btw in which month u change the potting media of this calathea
Glad to know I could do something n thank you so much for your words...I actually do that [please add date and season of your] whenever it's important or whenever it's relevant. Anyway, I mention the temp which is more important, not the season actually. It's because, I have many Subscribers from outside India..and whatever we grow here in Winter, those plants are grown either in Spring or in Summer over there. So, temp is the most important thing.
Calatheas start to grow well from Spring onwards. But here in India, we face lots of issues as Summer Temp is quite high.
>> Btw in which month u change the potting media of this Calathea
They start to grow well from Spring onwards and I have already said this in many of my videos. I changed the potting Medium in March end, thank you!
Hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions, thank you!
Calathea and Gardenia are two of the most difficult plants 😪
I find gardenias easy but calatheas for me are impossible.
Gardenia is easy
also 1 more doubt..so it's ok if I never put normal soil in it?? nd just keep it in sand and cowdung compost?
Where we can get sand for plants?? Can u pls share the link from where i can buy it pls
I'm trying to save mine. It was beautiful for a long time then it began to die. I don't block the drain holes anymore. When I pick it up. If I see soil in the drip tray it's time to water
so do i trim the yellowing leaves or leave them or what? days ago, i found earthworms in my maranta plant and it was overwatered so i removed the worms and i repotted it but it's still yellowing and i dont know why
How to save the calathea plant?
Did you cut the brown leaves? I cut mine and im wondering if its gonna grow back
may i know what sand are those? river sand or something else? getting my calathea tomorrow from nursery . is it best to transfer immediately after receive it or let it settle down in my house environment for 1-2 weeks. fhank you
I use hydra on the bottom and on top rest is a plant mix based soil
Please also include the video while the plant was recovering like intermediate state not like from start to end thanku 😄
I usually do in most of my videos..but, unfortunately couldn't find the recordings of Calathea (I am sure, I took the footage) As I do many videos as a batch, need to keep track of everything like and sometimes things get quite confusing :-( But still, I would keep that in mind and work more hard, thank you!
I have about 20 calathea plants that I keep in the house. The winter is killing them! I keep it at 68degrees in my home, I have a grow light on them 12 hours a day and run a humidifier 12 hours a day. In the summer they are so big and full. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? Should I re-pot in the sand/compost mixture now? Also, what type of sand do you use? I am desperate to save my plants so any advice would be appreciated! Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!
20..that's really great :-) You are not doing anything wrong..it's the dormancy time and so it's happening. Winter is not severe in my place and that's why, mine is okay even if it's December. Since in Summer, they become big and full, I am 100% sure that you are taking GOOD care of them. And, it would be also better to avoid repotting at this time as it's dormancy period. If they don't look good by Spring, then please try this. I use just normal construction sand (small crystal size).
Hope it helps and thank you very much for your kind words, appreciated!
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you so much for replying! You are amazing with plants so I trust what you're saying and will wait it out! They do come back in spring but they look so awful so I'm panicking a bit! I love plants so I look forward to more of your informative video's! Thanks again!
Hi.exactly the same has happened to me with my handful of calthea. I even bought a grow tent which only slowed down the yellowing leaves. Don't know what I did wrong. Think it was just too cold.
@@GardeningUpbeat ah that's great too know. This situation is also how I found myself and my calthea during the winter. So happy to know it's dormancy and I'm doing nothing wrong. They are growing new leaves now.
Many calathea survived ❤❤
So much happy for you ❤❤
Can i giver fungicide water to all my ornamental plants. Your videos are the best.
Sure we can..Thank you So so much for your feedback, really appreciated!
Lovely revival. I too sm struggling with my calathea. Which type of sand have you used, is it river sand or can construction sand be used as well?
Thank you very much :-) I use construction sand. Any sand can be used, it just need to be extremely well drained. Good luck!
Please share pot details
What would you recommend as an alternate potting mix where I can water it less than daily? I have a Calathea ‘White Fusion’ and all the leaves turned brown and crispy. Thanks!
Sorry to say..very tough to provide other alternative! I have already tried many other potting soil and only this is the mix that is working well. All of my Calatheas are much healthy comparing to before. Summer temp is really high here and because of that, some leaved get burned. But, they are also producing new ones non-stop. Thank you!!
What's the blue stuff??
I love calatheas and bought three different types, they have been nothing but trouble, I have changed the soil, mist them, changed locations, nothing makes them happy. I will never get them again.
I'll try this & provide an update in 2 weeks. Please remind me through a comment so i don't lose this thread.✌️
D moment i left them alone, it was when they bloom 😊😅
👍
Sir where do you stay?
Don't you like to use vermiculite to keep the moisture in? I had no idea you could use that amount of sand to drain. What about perlite?
Vermiculite - a good idea. But, I have found this potting mix recipe after trying many other things including Perlite. So far, it's working the best! Watering daily would be enough as they prefer only bright light, no direct sun.
Did the dead leaves recover or did you prune them and new healthy ones grew?
All those are new leaves..the brown or dead leaves won't recover, thank you!
My calathea has all dried up leaves and I just repotted it. Can I cut off all the leaves?
Please avoid cutting the all leaves..instead you can wait for somedays and wait for new leaves. Once it start to do that, you can cut all the old leaves. Good luck! In winter, usually few leaves get dried up because of low humidity.
I have same plant in pure garden soil and growing well. But I am that calethea are most sensitive. I killed. Many calethea in past. But now I have many from calethea family viz. Marante, Stomathe
River sand is not available in my city so using perlite and vermiculite
Thank you for your inputs..yeah, they are really sensitive. You can use that too..but please make sure to keep the soil consistently moist. The edges of the leaves get burned if we allow the soil to dry out a bit. Wish you all the best!
I saved my Calathea... by moving it to the trash can. 😂. I will never fall for one again.
Rattlesnake calathea are very easy in my experience. It’s the ones with thin leaves that are more difficult
@@CampingforCool41 nice try 😂😂. Sorely tempted. No. Out of my league
😂😂😂
🤣🤣
😂 I’m right there with you…I knew they were finicky going into it, but I really didn’t think mine would go from perfect to dead in 3 months 😅☠️
Did you trim any of the yellow leaves off when you repotted your Calathea?
No actually...after somedays, they turned to brown and that time, I just removed all the brown leaves. Working on a new video about growing healthy Calathea plants. This time, taking more updates and hope, soon I would be able to share with you all, thank you!
what kind of sand do you use?
Just normal construction sand, thank you!
What kind of sand do you use?
Just normal construction sand, thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video,, now its winter, is the best time to repot dying calathea?For your kind information I live in West Bengal, Cooch Behar district,please reply🙏
You are most welcome and please do at the end of Feb. Winter is dormancy time and they produce many new shoots in Spring. That's why, Feb would be idea. Good luck :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you soooo much for your valuable suggestion. I appreciate your all videos. 🙏
Hi which are are you in? What fertiliser do you use please? I have lots of calatheas and I don't want to lose any of it😊
I am from Gauahati, India. Please refer this video - th-cam.com/video/E89xJYjLTwo/w-d-xo.html
I have provided complete details about my place including Temperature, Humidity etc..in different time of the year. Thank you!
I've almost lost my calathea collection after following this advice. Roots was not getting any oxygen. Watch another channel from Abby Beez and you absolutely have to add lots of perlite with potting soil. So please go watch her channel she has done lots of videos about calatheas, a must see everyone!!
I’m sorry but couldn’t understand when you said what to add to the water. Please let me know
Dada, khub bhal lagise , kunuba amar rajyor hoi iman dhuniya informative video bonai sobike iman help kori ase. I subscribed to your channel.
Just to ask you as a beginner in the plant world, is calathea a challenging plant to maintain. Saw it in another video in a different channel, someone saying if you see calathea written, stay away from it as a beginner.
Bahu bhal lagil eman dhunia feedback diar babe, really appreciated!
That's correct , it's really a challenging plant. Too much sensitive to water, environment, dry air etc. But still, if you want to grow, give it a try! Same soil use karile aur alap care karile, nissay bhale thakiba. Good luck!
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you dada, nischoy try kori saam... Question tu moi English t hudilo karon beleg manuheo same question or answer bisarile pabo... actually mur maa r rooftop garden ase mostly flowering plants, teo lagiye thake... I help her sometimes so olop olop knowledge ase but ekdm nije moi notun k kori asu. Heikarne, apunak hudi lolu 😊. Bhalei thakibo...aaru bohut informative video share kori thakibo.
You are most welcome and sorry for the late reply. Actually Nested replies ahile, TH-cam ee ako notification napathai. It's totally okay and you did good anyway by asking in English. Bahu bahu subhessa thakil, keep growing more and bahu bahu dhanyavaad for your kind words! Please convey my regards to your Mom..she must be an expert gardener!
Why did you not remove the damaged or dried leaves before replanting? Are you trying to say they recovered, turned whole and green again?
Well..I could have done that. But as I said in the video, they produce tubers. So, didn't want to hurt the plant too much (it's better to let the plant to manage old leaves. If we pull it or use any force, the tubers might get damaged). Anyway, it went through a shock as I removed all the old soil. No..it's not possible that dried leaves would turn green again. Thank you!
Apparently leaves still photosynthesis when they are dying so they are still giving the plant energy. I used to cut off my dying leaves but have stopped this until the plants grow more leaves to replace the dying ones.
I find that calathea don’t like being dry so check the soil regularly and misting or a humidifier helps.
Did you not cut the dead leaves? The brown dead leaves turned green?
I did...Once leaves turn to brown, they would never turn green again. Thank you!
I tried this method also. But peacock plant just died
My cat chewed up the leaves...idk..the soil is bad too. It's not totally dead. I moved it to my plant room. Gotta change the soil
All the best!
Could you please repeat the name of the fertilizer?
Sure, why not and it's my job anyway :-) I was just using 1/2 teaspoon NPK 19:19:19 in 1 liter water and then kept applying directly in the soil, once in 20-25 days.
Soon I would share how to grow beautiful Calathea plants..3 plants are under progress and I would upload soon with results (I love to provide updates on my videos and so it takes time.. :-()
Thank you for being so kind and for watching the video, TC :-)
🥺🥺Hello sir I am your biggest fan , Sir I am from a small village where I can't get any plant please sir help me cause I am a nature loving person , its a request to you please share some flowering vine seed if you stored it 🥺 🥺
My plant is dying and i have so much issues about this plant. 😢
Sorry to know and I can totally understand....After somedays, I would upload a video about how to grow a healthy Calathea plant. It's still in progress and I am glad that they are doing really great so far! Not uploading today itself as I try my best to provide updates in each of my videos. Thank you for checking out my Channel :-)

Thank you.. But I will not expose the calathea to the sun!! Is the reason for the appearance of the limbs in a brown color caused by a lack of air humidity??
