      What Calathea is "stumpy", or to be more precise, what Calathea was stumpy! It doesn't look good.

      I see you have a vittata and a concinna in your profile pic, I have those too.

            I have a good few Calatheas and they have you pulling your hair out. Some of mine are thriving, some just won't to give me a break no matter what I do.

            It's simple for me now with Calatheas. If they don't play ball they go in the compost bin, and I'll try another variety.

            They're all jungle canopy plants and so you'd think that mastering it with one variety would put you in good stead for total Calathea success.

            In my experience that is not the case at all.
