Hi, I’m new to the Rattlesnake Calathea. I have a Whitestar Calathea and Lemon Lime Maranta, so I’m not brand new to the prayer plant family, but I certainly don’t know everything. (Bottom and top view of leaf shown) There are these dots on the underside of one of my leaves that look green (like the top side of the leaf) and I’m not sure if it is spider mite damage or something else. It doesn’t move or come off if I touch it, and there’s no texture. I think it’s leaf damage of some kind. My Whitestar had this happen too at one point but I just took a look at her and now those spots are gone. Any idea what’s going on here? I bought this plant at Lowe’s a few days ago and removed an actual tiny spider from webbing between leaves on this plant. I’ve never had spider mites before, so I don’t really know what I’m dealing with. Second question, this new growth leaf seems to be developing its purple color as it grows, but everything I’ve read says it should have come in with the purple color. Does this and the new growth emerging to its left look healthy? What should I do with them? PS— I know my “kitchen” location shows this plant is getting too much light, but I promise it’s not. I think I need to reassign what cardinal direction my kitchen window faces. All of my plants have done fantastic in this light when the app says the light is “too bright”.
