    Default Re: What is this plant??

    Good Morning,
    Sorry I did not see this last night.
    It is either fittonia
    Fittonia
    or
    Hypoestes phyllostachya, or "polka-dot plant"

    Google Image Result for http://www.flowershopnetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hypoetes-phyllostachya.jpg

    I'm leaning toward polka-dot plant , because of the texture of the leaves.

    Both are tropicals. Both are safe for the viv. However the 'polka dot' plant may not do as well as fittonia w/ constantly wet roots.
    Fittonia is grown in these same pink shades and does dwell with it's "feet wet". I have seen both plants at HD and Lowes.
