Phara..your Maranta needs more light..the colors are faded. Unless it's in direct sun, which made the colors pale. Is it in a window, and if so, which direction?

As for the stub, it might get side growth..
One thing you can do, using a sharp pair of scissors or pruners, remove the upper brown growth..the top is dead. Toni

It is at a west-facing window (all windows in my apartment are west-facing), gets indirect light. Okay, I will cut that part. Will this induce side-growth? Thank you!

i have a prayer plant that always looks wilted even after i water it.i can't figure out what's wrong with it...help!

Gary..There's a number of reasons Marantas/Prayer Plants wilt. Below are some examples.

Harsh sun.
Over-fertilizing.
Extra large container.
Constantly wet soil. (prolonged periods)
Extremely dry soil. (prolonged periods)
Hot room.
Dry air.

Do any of the reasons apply to your Prayer Plant? Toni
