I can’t tell you what kind it is but I keep mine’s moist but letting dry out somewhat, good indirect light. Hope this helps😗

Maybe a Pterodactyl or clarinervum?

Pterodactyl x clarinervium if I had to guess. Well draining, airy soil— water when the top two inches starts getting dry. They love humidity and bright indirect light
