FAQs

1. Why does my Calathea Orbifolia Plant close at night?
   During the night, the leaves of the Calathea Orbifolia Plant fold upright at the base of the stem, as if the plant is folding its leaves upwards to pray. This behavior is primarily to trap moisture and follow the movement of the sun throughout the day.
   
   
2. Why are the leaves of my Calathea Orbifolia droopy and brown?
   Unfortunately, this could be a sign that your plant is dying. This could be because of under watering due to which the soil turns dry and the leaves turn droopy, brown and crispy.
   
   
3. How do I know if my Calathea Orbifolia Plant is suffering from root rot?
   A healthy Calathea plant should have yellow and firm roots. If the plant develops root rot, the roots will turn dark brown, even black and the texture will become mushy.
