Left is a version of the polka dot plant and right is a nerve plant. Those are the common names. They get leggy and are rather fussy. They also need high humidity.

So I have 2 different plants in one?

### Phil commented on 2025-05-31

They are very similar and are probably fine. I haven’t check the genus of each. They may be in same genus.

### Phil commented on 2025-05-31

Just fyi. Looks like this may be your first plant. At least first in Planta. These are difficult plants. So don’t be frustrated if they don’t thrive for you.

### MicAZ commented on 2025-05-31

Definitely both and both testy. Don’t get discouraged if these guys give you trouble. It really is them, lol.

### Tee Jay commented on 2025-06-01

You have both!

### Dory commented on 2025-06-01

Both! High humidity, bright indirect light and water when top inch is dry
