That’s a calathea. Tropical rainforest plants that grow well below the shade of the canopy. It needs HUMIDITY, indirect dappled light, and never fully dry soil (nor saturated). Notoriously difficult as a houseplant.

Isn’t it a maranta, not calathea? Or are they related maybe? I’ve had some calathea, very pretty at first but then all drama and they die… I’ve had much more success with the maranta, fairly resilient imo.

Not sure, actually. But they grow in the same conditions.
