Well, I get another opportunity! A precious DG member sent me a lovely Calathea!
Now, I have a Stromanthe that I almost killed (they need, in my experience, the same care as a Calathea) and a month or so ago, I moved the Stromanthe to my bathroom. No natural light at all, just incandescent bulbs whenever the kids forget to turn the light off, always warm and humid, and I water it right in the sink whenever I notice it's getting dry. See how dried out, brown, and ugly the big leaves on the Stromanthe are? Well, now that it's in the bathroom, it is putting out all kinds of new leaves, so I've put the Calathea in there with it. Here's a picture of the Stromanthe (on top, see the new little leaves? There's a new shoot coming out of the left one, too!) and the Calathea, below. I think I can handle it now and grow some beautiful ones! Yay!!
