    I would appreciate any help identifying this plant. It does not seem to be doing well. I was left with it after a room mate moved out. I am not sure what special conditions it needs.

    Thanks

    Looks like the plant in this thread. Spathiphyllum or Peace Lily. This page lists some care tips. Harry

    What it needs is repotting into new soil, a taller (and slightly wider) pot, and lots of water.

    Took me a while but I see the difference (starting with the leaf venation). Strelitzia or Heliconia it is. Junglekeeper is usually correct in any case. :) I can only plead sleep deprivation, but mostly I jumped to conclusions and should have taken a more careful look. Harry
