    Looks to me like a bird of paradise - the little leaves look very similar to the one I have!

    This looks like a Calathea Lutea water once or twice a week. What we want to avoid is creating a puddle below its pot, hence, overwatering. They can get up to 3 meters tall, but make sure to protect it from afternoon sun. You can most this plant every 2 days. And it does best in partly shaded sun light!

    And my guess is a canna lily or banana plant! 😆

    Hi there :) I work at a plant store and I do believe this is a bird of paradise. Same growth pattern and leaf.
