From the brink of death to revival
I honestly thought my rattlesnake Calathea was done for. The leaves were crisped, curling, and barely hanging on. I also burned her with a neem oil spray. I almost gave up on her, but I decided to give her one last try.
I cut back the dead leaves, repotted her in fresh soil, and moved her to a spot with softer light. I switched to distilled water and made sure the humidity stayed consistent. For a while, nothing happened. Then, slowly, new growth started pushing through.
Now she’s back. Healthier, getting fuller, more new growth, and with that beautiful patterned foliage again. It took time and patience, but she came back stronger.
It’s a good reminder that some plants just need a little care and consistency before they show signs of life again. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #RattlesnakePlant
