I got this little guy recently and am not sure what it’s called. The Planta scanner isn’t showing me the right plant identification. Any idea what it’s called?

I could be WAY off on this because I am no peperomia expert but…… my first instinct was a peperomia.

Pilea Glauca 'red stem tears'

I tried searching that but it seems the only version of the plant on here is the glauca libanesis “silver sparkles”. Thank you!

You can write in-the name and add it to the planta app.

I think plantgeek is correct. The most common name is silver sparkles. It’s just a different name. Pilea glauca silver sparkles.

Just checked. Red stem and silver sparkles are slightly different versions of Pilea glauca. But good luck cause they need high humidity. Usually sold for terrariums.
