My plant isn’t opening and closing anymore. I haven’t seen any pests and I don’t think I’m overwatering. Any tips or suggestions?

Following because I have noticed the exact same thing with my rattlesnake plant now that it's gotten big!!! Sorry I don't have any advice but I hope someone else does!!!

Mine did this for a while after repotting it. I use distilled water and don’t water it too much. I think they like just the right amount of water. Oh and they like humidity. lol this might not be helpful. But I will say I have seen them stop moving then start again. Your plant looks healthy so maybe it’s just off for a little bit. Good luck!!!

These plants love humidity! Have you checked the humidity level around this plant? Hot tip: you can buy small humidity monitors on Amazon, about an inch by 2 inches, and they’re cheap! They’ll tell you the humidity, and the temperature. I have one everywhere I have plants, and it’s very helpful. If you need any more specific info, send a post. Good luck!
