    Hi there! This is a maranta also known as prayer plant! These are a bit finicky for some people but what I found works best is the following: Light: mine is in a covered balcony about 5 feet away from the open outside (south facing) Humidity: It’s about 65% humidity level in Florida or higher at times Soil: I found that this plant does best in a chunky mix (soil, perlite, orchid bark) and a 1 inch layer of leca on the bottom. Water: Due to these plants being more sensitive to underwatering I like to fill the dish underneath the prayer plant every 3 days with just a half inch of water so that it can keep moisture in between waterings. And besides that i water it every week and try to fertilize every 14 days.
