Why is it wrinkled like that
So I’ve had this rattlesnake calathea for about two months now and she’s done great! Some browning here and there from trying to give her sufficient light but not direct light (so confusing) but I noticed this wrinkle with some of my older foliage on her. Is this particularly indicative of anything? I repotted her about a week and a half ago and I haven’t really had any signs of shock on her. Also I promise the photo isn’t filtered idk why it came out so majestic looking lol. I try to mist her in a grouping with my two peppermonias and my Dottie calathea about once a day or so to provide sufficient humidity and I keep her away from the draft caused by my ceiling fan. Any tips appreciated!
Other facts if this helps
•I live out in the woods with a huge holly bush in front of my window so my room is mostly indirect/low light
•it is a south west facing window so it does get some direct sunlight but I WFH so I tend to adjust them and set them on lap desks on my bed so keep them in indirect light during the early evening
•my rattlesnake calathea was repotted from a 5inch pot to a 6 inch pot with miracle gro cactus/succulent whatever mix but also mixed it with her original soil (just what I had accessible for the time being)
•we water about once every week/week and a half, typically try to bottom water but I do use a moisture meter and check with my finger and a chopstick to see what the level is before watering
•we do use well water at my house but she seems to have been doing fine with it
•she’s in a house with a dog and two cats so I try to regularly dust off all the leaves and keep them from eating her foliage but ofc sometimes this happens and when it does and they take a big enough chunk we snip the leaves all-together.
