That’s a calathea orbifolia. They tend to be very dramatic. Droop in the day but will raise once the sun sets. Recommend rain or distilled water

Calathea Orbifolia

Ugh. Orbifolia. I've un-alived 2 of them. I love them but they can be bratty. They are really dramatic. It will droop when it's thirsty and then pop back up when it's happy.
