Trying to boost this because I have the same issue pretty seriously with my bird of paradise and I have not been able to find any information on this. It’s starting up with my jungle velvet calathea, and I need answers!
Also, don’t you love how when you Google it? It says it could be over watering, under watering, too much light, too little light or something else. Thanks google, super helpful 😂

Maybe humidity? Mine do this, and I don’t have great humidity this time of year. But it could be any number of things because I am far from an expert. I think I’ve posted 4 questions in different Reddit plant groups just this weekend 😂 so take my wondering with a grain of salt.

I’ve gotten this type of leaf deformity when my calathea have pests like spidermites. I would double check for pests since calathea (esp the jungle velvet u mentioned) are super prone to spider mites.

Usually due to under watering at some point in that leaf’s development.
