Hi,
I have had a rufibarba, which I guess this is.
I don't have it anymore which tells me despite being a more tolerant Calathea, it couldn't survive my care- and I have dozens of other houseplants.

The similar shaped ornata (rattlesnake) also took a turn after I divided it- my friend's portion went on to grow and thrive at least a while.

That looks like a tiny pot. I shy away from plants that small as I feel they have very little energy reserve for any challenges they face. But at ten leaves, you would think it was into its energetic 'teenage' years at least. Sighing!

Hope someone else has (better) advice.
Plant it and they will come.
