CALATHEA RATTLESNAKE CARE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS | water, light, humidity, propagation, and more!

[@evemarietou]

I just got a calathea rattlesnake a few weeks ago, and I’m still getting to know her. This video has come at the perfect time! ✨🙌🏾

[@cscreative5460]

I’ve had mine for about 2 months. It’s not really growing but I bought a 6 inch pot so I’m not too worried. It may not be getting enough light but I love watching it move.

[@stephenw.6588]

Your videos just get better and better!! Camera angles, titles, lighting, pacing and always loads of great energy - Woot!!! Two thumbs up. I appreciate how your home looks and feels. Your channel shows you living with your plants in spaces that would make anyone feel comfortable... instead of struggling between racks crammed full of specimens and grow lights, or a kitchen full of botanical babies who take precedence over daily food preparation! (Oh, did I just reveal something about myself?) Thank you for the inspiration and education ;-)

[@alanesmith3053]

LoL. I love my kitchen babies, too!!

[@vicar6225]

I’ve had my rattlesnake calathea for many years and it’s far from windows. I water it with distilled water and have never had a problem with it. It is a beautiful large plant. Thanks for the good information.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you tell us all about the Rattlesnake Calathea plant. Very useful and helpful information.

[@alanesmith3053]

Mine was doing great! Somewhere I tripped up and it now has only one surviving leaf. 😢. I am about to transfer that leaf, along with any surviving roots, into water to save it. I love this plant!

[@SalVirji-g1z]

I just stumbled across your channel, very informative, thank you. My rattle snake plant soil is airy but retains mosture for about 3 weeks. Is that bad? Thanks

[@tanyafairchild3846]

I just got myself one I'm so happy

[@bugbean5500]

I love mine so much! Nothing happened for half a year and now there are three new leaves coming 😍

[@1031Fannie]

My daughter just bought me one about a week ago. I absolutely love it 🥰 🥰🥰 Thank you for the helpful tips.

[@thehectichobbyist664]

I've had mine a few months. It's still short and small but it has been growing and doing well

[@paulawilkins1533]

I bought one of these from Cellar plants, did not do well. I cut the dead leaves off, now I have new growth. I am so happy, thought I was going to have to send too plant heaven 😄

[@natashacoda4354]

I love that she’s talking about a snake plant and has a snake tattoo 🐍

[@TaliMca231]

To be honest I don't think I like calathea in general, but always love the videos!

[@onelastmarine]

Thank you so much I just picked up some plants for my office setup and all of this was greatly packaged for me to listen to. I did have a question if you don't mind me asking. I have them planted and have noticed a tiny hole of two in the leafs should I be concerned about this or does the leaf naturally have this happen over time?

What's the best soil for Rattlesnake plant

[@sanna_xox]

I just bought this plant from sainsbury's and its in a jar full of water labelled as a hydroplant, do i keep it they way i have bought it or put it in soil?

[@jjordan1312]

Thanks for the tips

[@falsificationism]

OMG I have a new rattlesnake I'm struggling to take care of. You mind-reading now or what?! Needed exactly this video.

[@branevans3705]

Thank you!

[@theresachavez9771]

Is there an already premade soil I can use?

[@DragonsMist1948]

I have prayer plants and a Large Boston Fern and I have put them on small rocks and add water to help with the humidity issue. Can I do this to the Rattlesnake Calathea also? I just received this plant yesterday.

[@vegaskatus]

Thank you! I couldn't figure out why my leaves were yellowing.

[@nataliromero2232]

is it okay to spray the plants with water? or just water the soil ?

[@v1sav1s24]

I think my rattlesnake plant has completely died from overwatering once by mistake. No leaves on top, last leaf dying. I checked the roots but no root rot. Is there a way to revive this or should I give up? If I water less and wait will it get new leaves over time?

[@vlong7112]

Love the Spice Girls poster 🤩😂 So excited for a plant/apartment tour!

[@joshsimpson79]

I had a rattlesnake plant and it died. I bought another and have had it over three years. it's near, but not next to a window. I'd like to get another, but my office has no windows, but only grow lights. I have several plants in the office that are thriving. What do you think about a rattlesnake plant next to, or a little ways from a grow light? I'd really like to enjoy it, as the one in the house isn't really in the most visible location.

[@AH.-.]

Would I be wrong to assume that this can be applied to the calathea rufibarba? I’m looking to repot it.

[@elliotnatal454]

Your beautiful thank u for your info on all the plants I talk about 👍🏼👍🏼

[@stewartfosterc]

I bought a rattlesnake from target in bad shape(50% off). Any tips on reviving this plant?

[@CampingforCool41]

I’ve had mine for a couple years and had no idea crispy leaves were a common problem

[@djhogan65]

I was given a small Rattlesnake Calathea. It wasn’t cared for too well, so it is a bit sad, but I am sure it will be ok. I have placed it in a Terrarium, a GIANT glass jar with a lid. I spared no expense setting it up, drainage layer, mesh barrier, Activated carbon, and home made terrarium mix using high quality materials. The mix is actually quite similar to the mix described in this clip. The terrarium gets quite good indirect light, and it has a small grow light on it. I think (?) the terrarium should provide a good environment for the Calathea as long as I don’t make the soil mix too wet, it should be constantly moist, but not waterlogged because it is high drainage soil and there is a gravel drainage layer underneath. The humidity is high inside, it steams up the glass at night time, and clears during the day. I hope it does well in it’s new home, it is a gorgeous plant. Does anyone have any experience with this plant in a terrarium?

[@lydia4243]

I’m having such a hard time with mine. I have it in indirect sunlight I just got it on Sunday and some of the leaves are turning yellow. Can you help if you can?

[@benvictory5788]

What can be done if it’s been overwatered and has yellowing leaves

[@michellechapman8738]

So... My rattlesnake is 2 yrs old noe. Its in a ceramic pot but its not thriving..its not dying either but it should be bigger than what it is. How can i get it to really grow and take off?

[@Verde830]

You can probably split it in half. Then you will have 2 plants

[@lamontemckinney9724]

Great video thank you

[@PlantDad215]

I brutally murdered mine a year ago 😂 it went down to 1 leave and then I was like even though the internet says don’t put them in water I did anyway

[@michellechapman6839]

Mine won't grow any bigger. It's in a 6 in pot.. just not developing any new leaves!!

[@kendravoracek3636]

💚💚

[@cindymeyer499]

Mine is struggling!

[@branevans3705]

Same 😢

[@theresachavez9771]

Mine too. It’s more than 2 years old and I keep losing leaves. I need to repot but I still dont understand the type of soil I need. It’s so confusing.

[@gpalmer456]

This isn’t the kind of rattlesnake care I had in mind lol

[@4hoovesnart261]
