Tammynn,
That is just georgous...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.....I will keep checking to see if my WM gets them in.....It almost looks like a creeping charlie but red....Did it have a tag in it that said what it was...

Google Hemigraphis Alternata or Hemigraphis Colorata. My plant book(Ortho's Complete Guide to Houseplants) says that this is a creeping plant that loves high humidity and medium to bright light. Let dry slightly b/t waterings and keep away from cold drafts. Prune regularly for a full look. Tiny white flowers appear in Spring/Summer.
Miracle-Gro Encyclopedia of Plant Care
says the things Growhappy stated as well. also give plant a shower once a month, repot annually because plant has a vigorous root system, Low light will cause plant to decline, Keep away from drying winds, Feed only 3 times in summer with foilage plant food and will root from stem cuttings in water or soil.

I did get a tag in this plant. It had the name and a little about care. Thanks so much. I'm new and this is so much fun.
