I have inherited a plant of unknown species and since moving it into my house i have been having problems. I dont know what im doing wrong but leaves are drying up and curling.
Amy advice would be very appreciated!

One of the marantas, sometimes known as prayer plants. They need moist but well drained compost, high humidity and filtered light. keep in an even temperature - not hot and definitely not cold. They're also quite hungry and need regular repotting. You'll find lots of info online if you google 'maranta'.

Not over a heat source, is it? Looks like it's a bit dry
