How to Care for Your Rattlesnake Calathea

  • Light: Prefers medium to bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
  • Water: Maintain consistently moist soil, allowing the top inch to slightly dry before watering again. Use filtered or distilled water to prevent sensitivity to hard minerals.
  • Temperature: Thrives in 65-80°F (18-27°C); avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Humidity: Requires 50-70% humidity; mist occasionally or use a pebble tray/humidifier.
  • Soil: Prefers a peat-based, well-draining mix with slight acidity (pH 5.5-6.5).
  • Fertilizer: Feed bi-weekly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20).
  • Pruning: Remove brown or yellowing leaves as needed.
  • Propagation: Best propagated through root division during repotting.

📌 Pro Tip: This plant benefits from bottom watering, which prevents mineral buildup and promotes deep root hydration. Read our Calathea Care Guide for expert watering techniques!


Fascinating Feature: A Plant That Moves!

The Rattlesnake Calathea belongs to the Marantaceae family, commonly called Prayer Plants due to their nyctinastic movement—a daily rhythm in which their leaves rise in the morning and fold upwards at night, resembling praying hands. This natural movement, responding to light, makes it a truly interactive and engaging houseplant.

Interesting twist on an Isekai
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this novel. Not only are the two main characters well developed, but so are the side characters. The slice-of-life setup is done well, with with you (the reader) being pulled along into the story. Right from the beginning, the author is successful in getting you to be fully invested in their struggles. While the book could stand to have another editorial pass, it does not detract greatly from the story. I also really enjoyed the Beast Mountain Trials. Far from your standard dungeon run, the - contestants? participants? contender? - whatever you want to call the people who participate in the Trials alongside Erik and Rugrat, who sort of fall into the Trials while trying to just live their lives and figure out how the Ten Realms things works, all participate in the different levels to see how far they can go. While the sect elders seem to understand that passing all the levels grants that person control of the dungeon, it also seems like everybody else who participates (or has participated) stops short of the last trial. Well, either that or, while they may successfully withstand the waves of beasts - the letter of the quest - they fail in the spirit of the quest, and thus fail to "beat" the dungeon. Given the way the villagers respond to Erik and Rugrat almost every time they do something to improve the villagers - often at their own expense or sacrifice - it is clear that the Ten Realms is very much a Darwin-esque universe. The strong rise to the top; the weak fall to the bottom. Yet, the many citizens of the universe, at least in the First Realm, have clearly failed to realize that they are stronger together. Which is perhaps why no one else has successfully completed the Beast Mountain Trials. Finally, while I knew that Erik and Rugrat were going to enact their revenge upon the Moon Healing House, I did not expect ... that. Not to say that it wasn't warranted, not out of character. Nor was is really unexpected. Not really. I was just a little surprised at the sheer coldness of it. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book, as Erik and Rugrat ascend to Second Realm to continue their work toward healing the dungeon.

Another great start to an interesting series :)
Format: Kindle
A great start to a new series, a very good hybrid between a light LitRPG and Wuxia combination which somehow is greater than the sum of its parts. For LitRPG aficionados, the leveling system is pretty basic, but solid, the crafting part bringing it a lot more flesh and sparkle. For those who like Wuxia, they will instantly recognize many of the concepts and may enjoy (as I know I did) the emergent clash between the `strength first` philosophy so prevalent in Wuxia novels and the `strength with a helping hand` model of many Western writings. The second part of the novel contains some town-building, tower-defense elements which I found well-thought out and interesting, and I am truly looking forward to the way they will develop `in the next realms`. The protagonists are interesting, you can really empathize with them, especially at first, and the character building is slow but steady. I was surprised by the specializations they chose, and I absolutely loved the healer/healing part of the world-building, for me it was fascinating. I think I read the book in one day, even it is by no means short, and I found it very enjoyable.I am looking forward to all its sequels!

It's worth the ride
Format: Kindle
I personally want to give this series a 5/5 I've read all nine books one after the other and enjoyed the entire ride through. I'm a very big fan of LitRPG's and cultivation genres and I think this series does a great job at really taking you through both of those experiences and giving fully fleshed out reasons as to why things work the way they do. The reason I am giving this series a 4/5 is because of somethings I think you need to be aware of and ready for. In which if you are it will be a good story for you. One there are editing errors these decrease as the series go on but sometimes can break you out of the emersion as you have a "Wait, what?" moment. As a said it is a minor thing hat happens less and less and can be overlooked. There are a lot of characters, and I have seen several reviews addressing how that upset them with many POV's. I understand that isn't for everyone. Personally I think it makes the world the writer puts us in feel alive and expands things to more than just Erick and Rugrat. Which is what you would expect from a series that has literally 10 different planets. These POV's are also used to show the effects Eric and Rugrat have on the people and places they interact with. Gotta have a little bit of an attention span to read about a world like that. That's it those are the two things that I personally felt could knock this story down to a 4/5 The realms is funny, action pack, things have a long lasting ripple effect that matter as you progress and the characters with all their power still always feel grounded in a way that makes you cheer for their wins and mourn their loses. I saw a lot of negativity about this series as a whole and I will stand by my title this series is worth the ride. "Oorah"

Review of the Two Week Curse

Enjoyed the story, not usually into too much magic, but totally understand the role it plays in these stories. Highly entertaining story and like the morals of the two main characters. Good read and would gladly recommend to anyone.

Wonderful middle grade book
Format: Hardcover
This book is part historical fiction and part sci-fi. I bought because we like getting the Newberry award winner every year. We loved this story. It was fun read a book placed when I was kid and see/show my kids how much the world has changed, but it also had a fun time travel element. This coming of age follows a kid and his worries about Y2k. He deals with the death of a friend and worries about everything. We loved this story and it's special sections back i to the future making it easy to believe that time travel is real.
