What is this?

Canyon, TX(Zone 6b)

Hey all!

Can some one please tell me what this is? I got it at Lowe's half dead! LOL I have had it about 1 year and it has not changed much! I know the pot is to big but that is what I had at the time.

Could I add in some other plants to this pot, or does this ojne not do well with other things in it?

It is in my bathroom and it seems to like the West late afternoon sun. But with the window facing the mirror it gets good light all day! LOL

I know it's a Calathea, one of the most commonly sold ones, but can't think of the name, sorry;)

I wouldn't pot it with anything else.

Calatheas need relatively high humidity and warmth.
If you can find a place to keep the *roots* warm (the top of our old TV used to work really well) they're at their happiest.

HUMM, well thank you! I think it is a Calathea Ornata.

Now I know what to do with it! LOL
