Hello everyone,  
I got this plant from a friend and not sure what it is. Anyone have any idea what this plant is?

that looks like a ZZ plant!! they are really easy to take care of, and in my opinion, very pretty. ZZ plants have a thick stem and rubbery leaves, and they almost feel fake. read up on them, they are great :)

ZZ plants don’t mind shade, i have mine tucked away on my desk and it is very happy

My son keeps a raven Zz in his basement room. And that thing is a monster. I don't know how it's not only alive, but thriving! I guess the raven Zz's can survive on practically no light and the smell of socks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That looks like a very sad ZZ plant, I have faith you’ll make it the happiest in the world

Any advice on how to make it thrive? Never cared for this specific plant.

They are pretty low maintenance! You can pretty much just leave them alone for like ever and water as little as possible and it’ll still thrive!
