ive never seen anything like that! all i know is calatheas are so fussy and dramatic. i unfortunately have no idea what to do lol

could it maybe be searching for light? i know plants that get long, leggy stems sometimes arent getting enough light and grow looong to reach for the light

I’m not sure, he’s near a window with good light and then a grow light is close by, maybe i should move it, but it’s so weird
