I can’t wait for mine to get that big! I bought a mini rattlesnake plant last year from Planterina before they went out of business. I have a weakness for tiny plants 😁

My mom got me one for Valentine’s Day this year and it was already pretty full not but not that tall! I love how it’s growing!

once mine propagated itself the leaves were HUGE — next repot i’m actually going to remove the older leaves from the roots here so that those big leaves can keep filling out the pot

You are making me want one of these!

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-09-11

it’s the most forgiving calathea in my experience!

#### Heather B replied on 2024-09-12

I bought one today! Home Depot for the win. It came in a water bowl. I’m wondering if I need to put it in soil?

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-09-12

it will do alright in the water — idk how big it will get. if you decide to transfer, do a little research on doing it gradually. they can be a little sensitive about their roots and going from water to soil can be shocking
