I purchased a plant from a nursery (maybe it isn't even meant to be a houseplant) and it didn't have an id card. It has shallow roots, and is feathery-like. It looks reddish-purple and green. It looks kind of fluffy. Id like to identify it so I can figure out how to best take care of it. It was in the shade at the nursery, and hasnt really changed in the few weeks we've had it- it's in a shady spot with a bit of indirect light from a window. Any thoughts you have are much appreciated! |

Mojito, I's be curious to see that plant hanger. Do you have a photo of the entire unit? Looks like cast iron maybe? Very nice.  Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

| I agree, Spikemoss; it reminds me of the Ruby Red Spikemoss (Selaginella erythropus 'Sanguinea') that I couldn't keep alive for long. ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

Thank you guys so much!  I was googling forever, and nothing came up! And the planters are ikea fintorp rods and buckets- we put three of them on a wall with different plants. Here's what the wall looks like |
