One of my new leaves on my rattlesnake came in... backwards? He is starting to tuck up for the afternoon here but during the day he bends over backwards to get some sun on the front of the leaf. Never seen it before but this guy is happy so I don't mess with him.

Yeah Calathea leaves eventually right themselves. They turn however they need to get the sun.

That's a gorgeous plant!

### Plant Dad commented on 2024-10-20

How old is this plant btw? I love how long the leaves are and how full it is!

I took ownership of it a little over 2 years ago. It wasa mature plant but about half the size

I just showed this picture to my Rattlesnake plant so he knows what he needs to look like in 2 years. I've only had mine since February...
