I'm not familiar with the name - could you post a photo or tell us the latin name - are they indoor plants or in your garden?

Spritz - I think it's calathea makoyana - does this help?

Are they too hot or in direct sunlight? (Thanks Andrew)

no they are not too hot, and are not in direct sunlight.
i have them on pebbles to keep the humidity right.
