# Spring time means lots of new growth; I love it! My rattlesnake plant…

_Posted by Plant Dad on 2025-03-21_

Spring time means lots of new growth; I love it! My rattlesnake plant has 14 new leaves popping up right now. My ZZ plant is also going crazy with seven new shoots coming up along with giving me two flowers. It's kind of silly how we (plant collectors) get so excited when we see little things like a new leaf but it brings us so much joy.

I have this plant with 3 baby leafs left, trying to save it. Care tips please

They love humidity and distilled water! I found a cute little humidifier on Amazon I use everyday since my house is so dry during the winter and it’s so small don’t notice it much

### Mardel commented on 2025-03-21

How about water, how often?

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-03-21

Hey, like Mindy had mentioned, I also use distilled on all of my calatheas. What I found to work the best for me, being they like to be damp at all times is using self watering planters using the wick method. I also realized that they get fertilizer burns very easily so I only fertilize every couple of months. What is your lighting situation like?

### Mardel commented on 2025-03-21

I have it under a grow light

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-03-21

What kind of a grow light and how far is it from the plant. I use a grow light for part of the year with mine as well

### Mardel commented on 2025-03-22

It's an Amazon brand, it's right underneath it

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-03-23

It might be too much light?

### Amy commented on 2025-04-04
