# I am SO PROUD of this rattlesnake calathea. A month and a half ago it…

_Posted by Meggs on 2024-06-23_

I am SO PROUD of this rattlesnake calathea. A month and a half ago it was absolutely on its deathbed, but instead of ditching it I went into crazy plant mama mode \& did everything I could to save it. Now its remaining leaves are looking healthy, and it’s even put out two NEW leaves! I’m amazed at how doing some pruning, changing the lighting, \& switching to distilled water has made such a difference. Thank you all for everything you post here—it’s been incredibly helpful! 💕
