# Hi all - I’m still very new on my plant journey. Just seeking…

_Posted by Rooibos on 2025-09-17_

Hi all - I’m still very new on my plant journey. Just seeking feedback on my Calathea Warscewiczii - I’ve had this guy for about a month. It has just pushed out this new leaf on the left (the lighter green leaf). I know new growth is more delicate until it establishes itself so I could be jumping the gun here; the leaf has been open like this for about 5 or so days. My concern is with the brown spots on the unfurling leaf. There are a few small brown spots on other leaves on the plant, but this new growth unfurled with the brown spots already. Is this indicating something undesirable or a fairly normal/unavoidable element of this plant? This plant is currently pushing out two new leaves as well which is exciting, but I just want to make sure I am caring for this guy appropriately!  
He is in a chunky soil mix, and is about 75cm from a South/West facing window. ☺️
