I have had this plant for about a year and it seems to be doing good, but I wanted to find out the name of it to see if I am taking care of it right. It has several shoots, and on each one it splits out 4 or 5 new shoots that look kind of like a fan, and on each steam there is a single leaf. It keeps growing up and out and is very fragile. I have checked multiple sites and went through hours of pictures looking for the name of this. Any help would be much appreciated. Pictures are attached!





Thank you

Hi, looks like a variety of Maranta to me. I have two myself, one is red variegated and one is green. Are the new leaves spiraled tight and look like stems until they unfurl?
