I can't really tell from the leaf but the stem to the right looks like a peace lily. They do best in shade and warm, like to be wet but not soaking wet. If they dry out and wilt once watered will perk right back up. I live in the SE and put mine outside in summer ,but in shade away from direct sun.
I vote prayer plant or possible peace lily. They like filtered light, never direct. Mine is about five feet inside an East facing window, and it does well. trim off the dead stuff, fluff up the soil and give it a little stake for support. I water mine once a week and throw a couple of ice cubes on the top if I forget. I have nearly killed mine several times, and I find that the key is to give it ongoing attention :)
It appears that the soil may be moldy. I suggest that you remove the healthy part of the plant and put it in fresh soil. Don't put the plant in direct sunlight, or deep shade. Allow the soil to dry on the surface before watering and don't allow the water to remain in the tray. Good luck!
If you are still having problems after replanting, look at the water. If it is city water, it may have chemicals or additives that are not good for plants. You may have to use spring water (or bottled).
that is a calathea plant. home.howstuffworks.com/how-to-care-for-calathea-plant.htm
I think you are right Janet.
Definitely calathea. The ridges and spots on leaves.
Yes, it is a Calathea.
Thanks, I've moved it and cut back on it's water. Hopefully it'll get big and full again soon!
Found my Calathea at Lowe's it is a "low light" plant that's why I like it and great plant for indoors I always have good luck with Miracal grow soil an easy on the watering an always filtered light ....OH an make sure ur soil doesn't get packed down an root bound I have learned to check for that š
very hard here in the desert to find plants that survive especially when desert heat hits here in North Las Vegas then winter is the desert cold.
Ideally a plant should be transferred to a pot one inch larger than it's existing pot. Many do not do well when transferred to a much larger pot.
I agree with Janet. I like this website.
