Calathea LOVES humidity, so give her an environment as nice and humid as possible. Resting in a tray of clay pebbles (we sell those too), regular misting and even a humidifier will help.
The soil should always be moist, water a little bit and frequently, and don’t totally soak her or leave her sitting in a pool of water.
You will get some crisp edges from time to time and this is to be expected. If you do get crispy edges bump up the humidity.
Calathea is not toxic to pets or humans
