Hello! I was gifted this plant a while ago and I have no idea what it is. It seems to be doing well enough where I have it, but let me know if you see any problems with it! Thank you!

I'm not certain, but I think it might be a type of orchid. It looks like it's happy but may need a repot soon. Or you could divide and propagate

It’s possible. I haven’t seen anything like this from an orchid though. Some of its tendrils are getting pretty long. Granted I am terrible at keeping orchids alive, and don’t have much experience with them. I will say that the undersides of the leaves are a pink-purple color? Don’t know if that helps.

### Waspinator commented on 2025-06-07

It does seem a bit big and solid-colored for the orchids that grow that way. With the purple, it's likely a tradescantia. Those are normally much more purple but can fade to solid green in low light. Give it some sunshine and it should show purple, and probably stripes as well
