My Calathea Lutea Is Yellow

I was given a calathea lutea by our gardener at the office. It wasn’t potted and I’m not sure if it was just pulled out from the ground or came from storage. I potted it when I came home but the stems already turned yellow. The leaves are still green but folded. Will this still live?

The yellowing is normal. It is actually where the plant gets the "lutea" portion of its name! It means "yellow".

Transplant shock can be normal, but there are steps that you can take to help it along a little. This article will help:
