Hi, is my Calathea dead

Hi,
I have several Calathea plants and they some of them are not overwintering well. I've already lost two baby plants, and an adult plant has just lost its last leaf. Does that mean that it is definitely dead or can it revive itself from the roots with if left alone?. I am asking this because one of other mature Calatheas revived itself last summer with just one leaf remaining.
When all the leaves are lost is this revival behaviour still possible? here is a picture below.



Thanks for reading,

cliff.

    Hi, I don't think that it will survive, you could take it out of its pot and see if the roots are alright but I don't think that it will be alright, if it had one leaf it would have been different.

    Thank you Logan4, I kind of thought that, but I guess I just needed to have it confirmed before laying it to rest. :-(

    They are such difficult plants to grow, but you can always try again.

    Glad to be able to help.
