    Hello All:

    Nice to find this site with lots of info. I was in a garden center (Sheridan Nursery) and just on impulse - bought a small houseplant without a name. The staffs couldnot help and I, well couldnot pass it on. I attached a photo so, experts out here can help me out. I like to know the name, habitat and possibly caring for this tiny plant.

    Thank you.

    In my experience Hemionitis arifolia requires indirect light, very high humidity and moist soil. Before I started to grow it in a terrarium, I could barely keep more than two or three leaves on it.
