Very pretty, it almost looks like the patterns on the leaves have been painted 💚

Beautiful, those markings look almost painted on 💚💚💙

Amazing foliage 💚😊

Well I do like that .

This is a pretty plant

I love this plant. I havent seen one like this.

I looked a long time to find this plant. I thought it was a sansaveria when I was looking. Felt stupid when I brought it home

#rattlesnakeplant its a beauty.. we all make oopsies... no need to feel stupid David not 1 little bit.

You made a great choice. My favourite. 💚💚😊

My favorite too @hkyfvr and thanks for the confidence @cyndi

I really love this plant, the leaves move up and down like the prayer plant for day and night.

Awesome plant. Very striking. 💕😊

I like our new plant, kind of looks like a rattlesnake plant

Looks like rattlesnake plant to me as well.. what color is the back of leaves?? Thats how you can be more sure

I thought it was Rattlesnake plant until I saw they were normal leaves with a burgundy color on the underside of the leaves. @cyndi definitely not a Sansevieria But has the looking of the Rattlesnake for sure. That’s probably the biggest reason it came home. Haven’t been able to find a Rattlesnake Plant or ever seen one other than pictures.

The burgundy underside is from rattlesnake plant. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/calathea-plants/calathea-rattlesnake-plant-care.htm

Look under the encyclopedia entry you have this under and closely compare them as well.

@cyndi I’ve done a lot of research on rattlesnake plant because it’s one of my wishlist plants. This zebra plant has special care with watering I didn’t know about until I got home and looked it up. Kind of like the Rex Begonia Fairy. Doesn’t like hard water minerals or chlorine. Filtered or distilled water only.

Ok ..just these leaves look to narrow.. but like you said you did your research.. best wishes on your new plant.

This is a rattlesnake calathea. What about it is Making u think it isn't? It's not a makoyana I believe rattlesnake is lancifolia

Ok I’m wrong it’s a rattlesnake plant @cyndi I’m sorry for not trusting your help and thanks @heatherdirtyhands for the second opinion it made me research more with a second opinion . I have the green thumb but screw up the names often. Only been doing this for a little more than a year

Totally cool. I get it. Your doing great for only a year. I'm only about 3.5 years in roughly and still learning
