might be an all green Aglaonema, or a Dieffenbachia?
Plant it and they will come.

It is an Aglaonema, probably commutatum species. Do you have any questions about its care?

Yours looks pretty healthy. Keep it tightly potted. It is unlikely it will ever need a larger pot.

Lots of bright indirect sun, but no direct sunlight at all.

Water it thoroughly as soon as the top quarter of the soil feels dry.

It doesn' need humidity (misting) or fertilizer.

In time as it loses older lower leaves to age and each stem grows taller, you will want to prune back the tall stems to a height of 2-3 inches above the soil. New growth will then emerge on the stem starting where you make the pruning cut and grow upward from there. The top cuttings will root readily in plain water or stuck in the soil of the existing pot.

Enjoy!
