# Hey! Anyone know why my Calathea is looking like this? The new leaf…

Hey! Anyone know why my Calathea is looking like this? The new leaf is turning a reddish-pink color. It’s not crunchy or anything. I have him under a grow light if that does anything.

Oh thats not a calethea, its a philodendron birkin, its a designer plant thats made using the philodendron rojo congo, the reason your birkin is turning pink is because its reverting back to the rojo congo

Oh okay thank you I had no clue! So he’s still healthy?

#### Carrie ha risposto il 2024-03-03

I think some revert when they dont have much light but since yours is in a grow light it’s most likely healthy

#### Sofie ha risposto il 2024-03-03

Perfect, thank you! There has been lots of new growth so I assumed that was a good sign.

Mine also does the same, under a grow light. As that leaf matures that reddish colour turns dark green.
