It's a really beautiful plant. I assume you treat it like any other calatheas water with distilled water, indirect light and turn it 1/2 way every time you water. But I'm not an expert on these.

Oh I did not know that!

I’ll be sure to turn when watering. Do you have any thoughts on the light level here?

What direction is the window facing? If its east facing then your good if its south facing or west facing then it will be to much sun.
