I saw this gorgeous plant at my local Grocery Outlet Bargain Market and I was thinking of buying it. But, they don’t label the species of the plants that they sell. I really didn’t want to make an impulse purchase without having any idea of how to take care of it, if its care is demanding, if the plant is sensitive, etc. Can anyone give me a name, and perhaps point me in the right direction? ^
2nd pic to show the red underside of the leaves, if that helps any with identification.

Prayer plant. Finicky little [expletive deleted].
Maranta, I’ve had one for two and a half years and the other one for one and a half years. They like to stay moist in indirect light.
Maranta.
Talk mean to it. Tell it you hate it and that you know it hates you too. Put it is a self watering pot with distilled water. Leave it alone and mutter mean things each time you walk by. Then watch it flourish.
Idk. That’s what worked for me after trying g to baby it for a coupe months.

I’ve been caring for a prayer plant recently. Very easy IMO. Keep it away from heat sources and water moderately once per week. Simple.
