It looks like a algomena silver bay. I let mine dry out almost completely between watering and give it bright indirect light. Also I would check to make sure that yours is planted in the proper sized pot, the root ball should be ~1-2 inches smaller than the pot :)

Thank you

How do I get starters for this plant?

Via stem cuttings. If roots don’t look healthy (I’d take a look because pot is way too big) I’d chop around soil level and try and root in water.
