    Hi Newbie here,

    Need help. I have this plant I received from a friend and well I have absolutely no clue what it is. The leaves are fuzzy and large. Looks like its double leafed...if thats even a word. Like a small leaf is growing on top of the larger leaf. Can someone please help me before I end up killing it. I don't know how to feed it or what type of sun exposure I should give it. Help me please!!

    Thank you kindly,

    Janette

    Are you growing this as an indoor plant?

    It strongly resembles a Tibouchina to me. I think that venation pattern on the leaves is fairly distinctive.

    Was thinking the same thing. How big are those leaves in relation to some object please.
