# My rattlesnake plant is starting to get some droopy leaves. Not sure…

_Posted by Chrissy on 2023-12-30_

My rattlesnake plant is starting to get some droopy leaves. Not sure if it has something to do with the lighting because this seemed to happen when I got my new shelves for Christmas and moved all my plants around. The grow light is not directly on it but it does still get a lot of the light on the side closest to the lamp. I have a humidifier going for my plants and according to my little meter it’s at 50% right now. And it says that the temp in my house stays around 69 to 70F. Not sure if that’s too chilly or the proper humidity level. I have had a consistent watering schedule since I got her so I don’t think it’s that. And it’s been treated for pests recently just to be safe because it was near another one of my Calathea plants that had spider mites.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Your plant looks really healthy to me! It might just be the older leaves dying off to make room for new ones!
