I’ve had my Calatheas about 6 months and they never really thrived.
They are in a room that gets light all day but they are not in direct light. They are about 1 1/2 meters from the window. I water them with dechlorinated water and monitor the humidity (stays between 65-85%).
Pictures of them and the position/place they are in. Please help me 😞😞😞

Some of them look overwatered to me. When almost every leaf turns yellow like your stromanthe or has yellowing tips like your rattlesnake then the plant is most likely overwatered and the roots are suffocating. Check the roots on these two, change the soil to peat with orchid bark and perlite for more airy mix. Then water them with some kind of fungicide. Your roseopicta dottie on the other hand looks dry. I recently put my similar looking medallion in water, because the roots couldn’t absorb it from the soil no matter how much i watered it and it even started growing in there. Maybe try something like that and move it back to the same soil mix I mentioned before after a couple of weeks? Marantha looks fine to me, I wouldn’t worry about just one leaf turning yellow. I’m not sure about your beauty star tho, so maybe someone else will help with it.
Not nearly enough light. Move them closer to window
It’s Tuesday, what did you expect?
Those desperately need more light.
They love much light. They aren’t “shadowplants” as they say. They need muchhhhh bright indirect light. The light on the photo doesn’t seem to be bright enough…
