When I received it, it was healthy and happy! Then, me being ADHD I accidentally hid it from myself behind some books as I was moving furniture. But hey! Zella is bouncing back! Even has a new leaf coming in. I will continue to ask for forgiveness.

I just got this plant- I named her pinky - any tips?

Umm…. Don’t hide it and forget to water it for 2 weeks…? 🤦‍♀️ lols 😂  
No tips really. Calatheas are a challenge.  
Maybe my tip is that they are slow to adapt. So it might take longer than usual to notice it’s happy. Give it patience.
