We received this houseplant from a funeral, but none of us are sure what it is. The stems and undersides of the leaves are purple and fuzzy. It is also quite large - about waist high in its pot.
I want to care for it properly. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello ! It is a calathea, possibly it is a calathea rufibarba.
No direct sun, warmth and moist. You can check the cares for calathea in general, they all need the same conditions and cares.
shade loving Velvet Calathea prefers low light and regular watering. If you let it go dry for too long it will "faint" and break its stems. It is non toxic. A favourite of ours - it has lots of "personality", opens up in the day and closes at night and that velvet texture is really cool.
That's a Calathea. I just bought one! They're beautiful. They come in different varieties. Some leaves are round with purple veins. I love the ruffle leave and purple bottom on this variety. Enjoy!
I got mine from my mom's funeral and it's almost dead. Don't know if I'm watering too much or too little and no one can tell me what it is
