What problems they had with it:
The problems with the Calathea were that one day all the plants would die. They would turn very dark and wouldn’t grow anymore. Some people had to throw them away because they couldn’t revive them after a few days. It was quite embarrassing when everything died at the same time. Also, they couldn’t keep their water in it so some people started to put water in their plants and then take it out once a week just to get rid of the algae inside.
Problems other people might have:
The problems other people might have with the Calathea are that they water it too much.
