That’s a dieffenbachia. Very easy growers. So easy you don’t even have to have roots, you can just stick it in soil and it’ll root.

Never put rocks on the bottom of a pot to replace a good draining. They actually do more harm than good. Bright indirect light, good drainage, even moisture not too dry, feed every 4 to 6 weeks with an all-purpose fertilizer or dilute the fertilizer and feed every time you water

A nice well draining soil should be good. And they like bright indirect light. Too direct and you can get some scorching on the white areas
