Calathea ornata is a difficult plant to grow. That potting mix looks too coarse and porous to me. I would go with a peat-based mix, and keep the thing evenly moist through the growing season. In the winter, it would need to dry out more, but never all the way through. Some browning will probably be inevitable. Like I said, not an easy plant to grow.
