# Hey yall I was wondering if someone could tell me what is happening…

_Posted by Mya’s Plant Journey on 2025-09-13_

Hey yall I was wondering if someone could tell me what is happening to my rattlesnake  
:(  
I’ve had it for a few months now and haven’t changed anything with it. It closed up and looked sad one day and I’m not sure if it’s done for or if it can be saved :(  
pls any help is greatly appreciated!  
First picture is what it looked like at the beginning of August and the last 2 were taken today.

I don’t know specifically about them but that’s how my prayer plant looks without humidity. Have you looked into that? Not sure otherwise.

Hmmm I have the same plant and it’s like your first pic - no issues. Maybe it needs a new pot? Something bigger?

### Mads commented on 2025-09-14

It’s thirsty. Rattlesnake plants don’t like to dry out completely.

I agree should add humidity and water in a pot that’s drains. Add perlite to it too..
