Can anyone give me any tips ? I bought my rattlesnake from a local nursery on 4/30/25 (first picture is the day I got her) she was placed in a very low light spot (@ nursery) and had a few spots/rips on some leaves, but she was the only one they had. I’ve only watered her once since getting her (5/2/25 bottom watering w/ bottled water & liquid indoor plant food about 30 min.) she was completely dry. She has put out at least 3 new leaves since coming home. Picture 3 with the yellowing/ crisping leaf is one of the new leaves she just put out and I’m very confused on why it looks like that already?? She’s probably 8-9ish feet from a south facing window in a nursery pot. I live in a small apartment with a bad ass cat, 1 south facing and 1 north facing window so not a lot of light/space but I am working on getting a few grow lights( PLEASE recommend some good/budget friendly ones if you know any!!). I also plan on repotting her into a clear nursery pot.

    From my experience they are okay with lower light, but like high humidity and watering every 5-7 days. You will have to adjust your watering schedule to how much light they get. More sunlight (esp direct) = more watering needs.

    Mine did this over the winter! They really love humidity so I have a humidifier and pebble tray near by

    My rattlesnake struggles but my other calatheas don’t, so don’t trust my advice. lol. That said I dilute my fertilizer for the calatheas as they are sensitive to mineral buildup and agree with others that they like high humidity. Try a pebble tray or a small humidifier near the plants. It still looks great.

      Thank you! I may have added a little too much fertilizer to my water before letting the plant soak it up. Going to try a pebble tray!
