    Hi all!

    I'm new to your lovely forum and have a favor to ask. While living in Europe for a year, I had an adorable leafy pink and green plant. It seemed pretty sturdy despite my total incompetence and brown thumbs. When it came time to leave Europe and head back to the US, I left it with a co-worker and now that I'm settled in again, I find myself wanting the same plant. I've been googling various keywords to try and find it but I'm having no luck... could anyone help? From searching a bit it seems like bloodleaf would be the closest match, but it had lots of green and the shape is different - I THINK.

    Thank you so much if you're able to help... :)

    Yay, there is my plant!! Thank you so much for all of your help! :) I am heading to a nursery today to see if I can grab one. I'm reading that it will do best with higher humidity, so I may get a terrarium for it... will have to see! Thanks again.

    Old aquariums or large fishbowls work great for making terrariums.
