I constantly hear about calatheas being difficult and moody, but I almost completely forget mine needs watered or anything until plants reminds me it’s time. It’s not in the best lighting in the collection and it doesn’t have the best track record on putting out new leaves. When I got home from work this morning though I found out the new ugly leaf it was working on is actually not a leaf!
