What is this, and will it do OK in strong summer Western sun.

Also, how long will it be happy in its pot. So far, no roots
protruding from bottom hole.

TIA

So will someone other than Kay, who replied privately, give their
opinion on this plant?

Gracias in advance.

Well, it looks vaguely familiar.  I'm guessing it is one of the
arrowroots / Marantaceae.

Hmm.  Or maybe a sickly variegated ginger?
