Are you watering consistently? If so, is this a new plant? If its a new plant it's coming back from shock.

The leaves might be reacting to the fungicide or pesticide or whwatever (I forgot)
.


I've had this plant since September 2021 and it was doing super well until the fungus gnat problem which came in January 2022 - I was watering it regularly before then, just whenever the top few inches of soil started to feel dry, but because of the fungus gnats I read you're meant to let the soil dry out to kill the gnats eggs? I have used sticky traps to catch the adult flies but they still haven't fully gone. I've not used the pesticide spray on the leaves for the past week or so and I've got several other different calatheas which have seemed okay with the pesticide which I bought from the same plant shop that have sold me all my plants! Just worried that despite bottom watering it doesn't seem to be unfurling and I don't want to lose this plant! Thank you for your reply and any other suggestions would be super helpful😊
