I just got my first calathea yesterday afternoon. I was wondering if this is what they look like in shock? by Mama2Sophia78 Calatheas 2 Comments dudesmama1 10 months ago No. It looks fine to me. Just give it time to acclimate. As with any new plant acquisition, check thoroughly for pests. Make sure to water with distilled water. When it is time to repot, try adding in some grit to the soil. Mama2Sophia78 10 months ago Ok thanks! I use filtered water but I don’t have distilled. Is that ok ? Or should I specifically buy distilled? Write A CommentYou must be logged in to post a comment.
