Huh, first post I guess!  
Anyway, anyone know what might be the cause of the faded color on the leaves of my rattlesnake plant?  
It’s not on all the leaves and it’s not progressing very fast but I assume whatever it is it’s not good.

Ps, don’t mind his scraggly-ness, he’s a rescue.

I’ve never had a rattlesnake plant, but are the faded leaves facing the light? Some of my other plants get a red hue due to sun stress. If that’s what it is, if you rotate them they should go back to green.

Calatheas like indirect light, being right in front of the window is probably stressing it

Thank you both! I just moved him!
