| Heythere, Wendy! Can you take a pic showing the side, like if there's a main stem or not? Kind of looks like Ficus elastica but there's SO MANY leaves so close together. Could it be a Philo, like prince of orange? The curve of the leaves is kind of wrong for that... |

| It looks alot like an Ardisia I've been seeing lately from EA. They kinda look like this when Ardisia is very young...but it' kinda hard tell... |

| It's almost certainly an EA plant in that little cup. Using your suggestion, FPT, I found this one which looks more like the pictured plant than the ones I suggested. I think you've got it. |

| Wendy, the photo is too dark. Can you take a pic in brighter light? |

| Wendync- The link purpleinopp put up does show your plant(thank you purple), it's Ardisia Humilis, also called Ardisia Red. I've seen pics of full grown Ardisia in alot of my houseplant books...they get little red berried when it's full grown...kinda a cool plant but sounds finicky, atleast too finicky for me. I don't have the patience for high demanding plants right now (actually it has more to due with not being able to provide the right conditions for them)...I hope you have good luck with it...hopefully it does good for you. -FPT |
