Can someone help me to know what plant this is?
I wanted to see how to care for it but I need to know what it is first!
Thanks

I agree with Zenman it looks like an African Violet

That isn't an African Violet - they are not Compositae and this plant clearly is. Look at the flowers and you will see they are daisies. The leaves are also the wrong shape and texture. Only the colour is similar. It is Florists' Cineraria ie Pericallis x hybrida. Wiki has an article or just Google the name for how to care for it.

Yes, it is cineraria.

OMGoodness, the name of this plant just came to me and I rushed up to post it....and I was right! I sure knew that it wasn't an Aviolet, but couldn't come up with the right identification right away.
