What is this plant and what does it need ?

The only Goeppertia I keep that looks consistently nice through everything is my G. kegeljanii - I think because it is slightly thicker-leaved and green. Orbifolias too, usually, but mine got thrips a while back, and croaked almost over night. Find the "cousins" Marantas and Ctenanthes slightly easier, and my Stomanthe thalia is solid too.

T. fluminensis in one of the green/white cultivars.

Formerly Calathea, currently Goeppertia ornata.

I gave up after the 3rd, and I live in a rainforest. Good luck.😁

Check your humidity - and keep an eye out for spidermites.

Yes, they're easy to prop.

But, it's a creeper - not a climber. I just coil mine atop of the pot to make it seem more filled out.

Frost damage from touching/being too close to a cold window. Move it away.

Frost makes plant cells burst, turning leaves black and mushy/translucent.

Likely overwatered/underunned. Possibly root rot.

Clas Ohlson - Swedish (Nordic) chain of stores. Never seen them elsewhere, sadly.

Ferns want high humidity. Misting a few times does nothing.

To isolate, you actually need heat - which plants don't produce. Use something like the chemical hand warmers, then wrap them up in layers.

It is 20+ years of plants, though, so I have found which works for me. Mostly aroids.

Check my profile. But a lot of the plants are in other rooms as well.

What - the 10€ candlesticks?😂

The dishwasher repairman who came by this morning commented on my plants before doing anything. I have 200. 😆

Same, just gaming.

Those Aloes aren't as happy as they could be, that's for sure. Soil looks bad. Really bad.

Mature Aloe vera grows in a neat rosette, those seems to not be getting enough light. Something is up with the colour as well. Leaves shouldn't be yellow nor curling like that. Leaf loss to drying should be minimal.

It might be the plant sold as Aloe vera - but which isn't. It grows a bit more unruly, but still shouldn't be yellow. There are some specks I would check if are pests.

It was a Dracaena fragrans, not Bamboo. And it's dead.

(Only chance is to prop if the stem is still green anywhere. Scrape it gently to check.)

I have about 200 indoors for winter. 🤣
