Anyone have any idea what these fading spots and brown spots are on my rattlesnake calathea?

are you misting it frequently? if so, is it in a place with a bit of a breeze so the water doesn’t sit on the leaves? it could be causing a fungal infection on the leaves

#### 🪴steph🪴 ha risposto il 2025-05-23

also what sort of lighting does it get?

#### Eak ha risposto il 2025-05-28

Natural light, SW facing window.

I don’t mist it

What does your watering routine look like? Potentially too much water for the roots which is leading to the leaves holding too much water?

Actually I probably only water it about once every 2-3 weeks. I use a moisture meter and wait until it hits level 3 of dry.
