I bought a plant today & need some help to identify it. I would like to know what kind it is so that I can look for care information on it. It is very small so it is harder to identify. It looks like a sweet heart plant except that the leaves are green with pink splotches through it. You can see lines like veins through the leaves. It grows just like a sweet heart plant in the same form. The leaves feel somewhat differnt. Almost thinner. I'm not sure if it is because it so small or not. If anyone can tell me what this plant is I sure would appreciate it. Thanks. Cathy

Yes, that is it! Thank you so much. I couldn't seem to find anyone that could identify it. I went to the link that you sent & also found the information on it. I sure do appreciate it. It said it grows to up to two feet tall. Didn't realize that. Is it usually an indoor or outdoor plant?

Glad that was it! These plants are tender perennials, so unless you live in a warm climate, they probably won't come back if planted outdoors, but you can summer them outdoor in a pot in bright filtered shade. If they get leggy, you can either take stem cuttings and start over making a new fuller potted plant, or cut them back a few inches.
