Drooping leaves -Drooping leaves are usually a sign that the Calathea Makoyana needs a drink. In some cases it has been noticed that Calatheas move with the light. The leaves appear droopy during the day and will move upwards in the evening. 

 Curling leaves - This can happen for two reasons:

1. The Calathea Makoyana is experiencing cold stress. Keep Kai away from any windows or doors that could let in a draft. 
2. The Calathea Makoyana is ready for a drink. Check the first few inches of soil and only water when they are dry. 

 Crispy brown edges -The brown leaves could be caused by a variety of things. 

1. The Calathea Makoyana is sensitive to hard water which could be causing the leaves to brown. If possible use filtered or rainwater. 
2. Lack of humidity levels. Be sure that Kai is placed near a humidifier or is grouped with plants that release humidity in the air
