The table for this plant said it was good for comple darkness and shade, normally this room is completely dark, but I don't think that's right because it doesn't look healthy if anyone has any tips or information please comment it down below. ( i opened the window for this picture).

Eeeeks, definitely don’t follow that at all, all plants require light for photosynthesis to occur, unless you have faux plants no actual plant will live for very long without light. Prayer plants require bright indirect light, meaning not directly in a window but in a room that has an open window

I keep my calathea near an east window where it gets sunlight in the morning and ambient light throughout the day
