Is This A Jewel Orchid? Male
Default Is This A Jewel Orchid?
I picked this little plant up at a garden center. None of their houseplants are labeled and I asked the people there and they didn't know what it was. Is it a Jewel orchid or is it even an orchid at all?

It looks like Fittonia verschaffeltii to me, not an orchid. It is still pretty though.

I love Fittonia, they really are cute little plants! If you have a terrarium it makes a great addition.
