Calathea Corona drooping
Quick answer
If your Calathea Corona is drooping, the most likely cause is: Drooping or rotting stems on a calathea corona are attributed in the source to one of two named causes: overwatering (saturated soil that never fully drains) or cold temperatures, since calatheas are sensitive to chilly environments and any sudden change in indoor temperature.
Start here:
- 1. Adjust watering so the soil is moist but never soaking wet, allowing the top 2" (5cm) to dry before the next drink and ensuring excess water drains out of the pot drainage holes so the plant is never sitting in water.
- 2. Move the calathea corona into the recommended 65–77°F (18–25°C) range, away from drafts, chilly windows, and indoor heating sources that cause sudden temperature swings.
