Hello. Can anyone tell me what plant this is? It’s growing in an isopod terrarium and I didn’t plant it. I did use wild moss and there is a golden pothos in there. It’s weird though because it isn’t planted “in” the soil. It just has tiny aerial(?) roots. Planta alternates between impatiens and peperomia. It’s in 2 different spots. The stripes on the leaves look familiar to me, but I can’t quite place them.

I think I feel dumb now. The leaves look familiar because I am pretty sure I have the same plant next to my kitchen sink, a silver inch plant, or tradescantia zebrina. I was just at the sink and looked at it and was like doh! 😳

Lol just came here to say it was giving me tradescantia vibes! Glad you solved the mystery 🙂
