Look at my new baby

I am not really sure where to post this. I think it is a tropical but if not you can redirect this to the right forum. It has a tag on it that says Frankie Fittonia, "Fittonia verschaffeltii". I love fittonias and have had a few different ones. They can be quite hard to grow sometimes since they like the humidty but they do quite well in my little greenhouse that I have in my living room. (I know that is a strange place for a greenhouse but it is the only place to put it.) Anyway, I just wanted everyone to see it because I think it is so pretty.

Oh JesseK,
That's beautiful! I love anything in pink, so that one is a keeper in my book!

Soooooooooooo pretty.

Does anyone know how to propigate a plant like this? I am so used to just sticking a piece of broken off cactus or succulent in the soil to root it. A piece broke off when I was moving this and that is why I am asking. Any suggestions?

Jesse,

It's beautiful. Here's the entry in PlantFiles for it. Looks as though you can propagate it by taking leaf cuttings.

After looking at the link, I definitely need some of these!
