Weird leaf? In calathea #helpneeded #calatheacrew Hello! My calathea is growing a weird unknown (to me) thingy. It doesn't seem to be a leaf. All leaves have grown in the shape of a purple straw that unfolds slowly. This one is green and layered. Does anyone knows what is going on?

#calatheacrew Hi everyone! This is my first post :) Recently got a calathea medallion (2weeks or so) but I'm not sure if it's healthy or not. I see some brown spots here and there so would love your insights on how good it is doing. Thank you very much!

Do I need a smaller pot? #Calathea I just want to make sure this is an okay pot size or if I need to size down. I dont have an issue with her staying wet too long I've had to water her about every 4 or 5 days with this pot. I may have added to much perlite to the soil

Is this an okay pot size? She doesn't stay wet long, I have been having to water about every 4 days?

Prayer plant not praying? #Calathea āMedallionā just arrived in the mail Monday night. After the first 24hrs of observation, I noticed that itās not āprayingā. Itās about 5ft away from a west-facing window and doesnāt recieve any direct light. Is this normal, as it adjusts from being in a box for 2-3 days? Or is there potentially something else going on? Any other possible causes I should be aware of (e.g. water issue, light issue, etc.)? Thanks for your help and any advice you may have to share!
