Got a new leaf on my calathea! So proud 🥲 It’s the shiny one towards the top!

Also, I have a question regarding the other leaves. Does anyone know what those white specks are? They almost look like water spots dried on the leaves but I don’t let water dry on them ever

Idk, to me it looks like dried water droplets. If you didn’t get water on the leaves, the green house you got the plant from most definitely did and you just didn’t notice them until you brought the plant home

I went back through my photos of her from the day I brought her home and she did have those spots when I brought her home! I never thought of the nursery getting water on her and not drying her off. Thanks for your insight!

No worries, you can always wipe her down with a damp cloth and then dry her after if you want to get rid of them for aesthetic reasons :)
