Comment on Sad plant giving up on life - a call for help

Ohhh the calathea. It’s horrible. We had a few of them and it was never “ good enough “ for them. When I gave up they came back to life. And a few days ago while travelling I saw them at a campsite alive and well just outside. I really like the plant how it looks but its a horrible diva to deal with. Reminds me of this reddit post:

The only Calathea I got that survived (I have to have tried them at least 5-10 times now) is the Calathea musaica Network. Heartly little beasts. They are a lot more thicc.

Not mine. Ironically, other better looking tropicals love me so that’s ok.

Oh yea, they are super vibrant like that too with a bit of sun and not too hard to find. :) Pretty easy to care for and more resilient to underwatering than other prayer plants. 100% good for beginners, especially in apartments with half light.
