Hi everyone! I’ve had this rattlesnake calathea for a while but have had to trim leaves for various reason - lately it’s been a little fungal leaf infection. I was wondering if it looks like it should be planted deeper in the pot or if it’s okay for all that stuff to be above the soil. I think it’s mostly stubs from me chopping leaves. Thanks in advance!
