    Hi gardeners! I'm new here AND to gardening or anything remotely close... I've grown a new interest for caring for plants because of my mom's influence. I'd like to be able to sustain the lives of these 3 newly acquired house plants
    I've got an Episcia Cupreata,

    one from the Crassula family not sure whether it's a Hummel "sunset" or Ovata.

    So I'm trying to figure out the name of this plant (my third one) so I can know how to care for it.

    Help please? Thanks!

          I know, right? Probably one of the things that attracted me to this plant.

                  don't think so Victoria - Sharone's leaf has a break around the main vein but Peperomia caperata doesn't,
