This has been in my kitchen window since spring, now its to big to keep there. I lost the ticket that came with it and have no idea what it is. Going to transplant it today to a bigger pot.

It's a polka-dot plant, or hypoestes phyllostacheya. It probably loved the environment in your kitchen, bright but not direct sunlight, humid. It can be cut back, too, without any damage.

The morning breeze has secrets to tell you. Do not go back to sleep.

Thankyou Melina, thats exactly what it is. Now I know. Going to look for something pretty to transplant it in, and see if I can get it live through the winter.

What a beautiful plant! I'll have to see if I can find one next spring.
