    I've been able to ID all my plants from Aloe, Areca Palm, Bird's Nest, Ponytail Palm and a few others. However, I can't figure out what type of plant this is (from Ikea).


    Thanks!

    Thanks! Now i know how to take care of it. I must have searched for 4 hours to try and ID it. Great website! I've found tons of useful information.

    Thanks again,
    Kevin

    I did some more reasearch and it looks quite a bit like a Peperomia obtusifolia or Baby Rubber Plant too. The leaves are a little more rounded. All in the same family though.

    What does the CV part mean?

    Thanks

    It stands for cultivar. A plant selected from a species for some
    horticultural merit. In this case variegated foliage.
