I would say it looks healthy! Wilting could mean it wants more water or maybe a little more bright light. The container could also be a bit too snug for the roots with that stake in it too.

Hope this helps! 🪷

It does thanks

Hey, name-twin! (I did a double take at your profile pic because I too have a rattlesnake calathea lol)

I agree with the other comment - but am curious to know if your container has drainage?

It’s also hard to tell in the picture but it looks like your pothos has a little bit of - but not much - variegation? If that’s true, I think giving it a bit more light might help! All those deep green leaves means the plant needs allll the chlorophyll it can get to maximize sunlight in lower-light conditions. That’s my understanding of it, anyways!
