Is this actually a Painter’s Palette?

I’m not sure if this was identified correctly. I got it at Lowe’s. It’s growing in water. I need some more care info! Any help is much appreciated!
2ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

Yes, an Anthurium, also called a Painter's Palette 😊 Are you planning to transfer it to soil? They do ok in water short term, but long term they won't thrive and they may stop flowering altogether. They light a chunky soil (equal parts potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite) and bright indirect light. Water when the top few inches of soil feel completely dry to the touch.
Ah thanks for the advice! I will do that. Much appreciated! It’s so pretty I want it to thrive 😊
