I do not think that that's what this is. What you have looks like it's part of the pepperomia genus to me.
I could be wrong though. Do you know how old the plant is? If it's a young plant it could be the jewel orchid and it just may change a lot over time.
peperomia puteolata!
@BonusPhalsa @Alinaa awesome! Alina confirmed!
That’s a really cool Peperomia!! Where did you find it? I’m in PA too but near Pittsburgh.
@Alinaa thank you. Once I checked out some pictures of other pepperonis puts I knew you had identified it correctly. Do you have one like this?
@BonusPhalsa I was looking for one for a bit.. finally found someone that sold me a cutting a few weeks ago. Currently just have it in water. Sorry can’t help too much with it’s particular care since it is new to me too.

@BonusPhalsa thanks!! I have to be in New Stanton Sunday…. Maybe I can get out that way. I see they are open 7 days a week but couldn’t find the hours.
@Alinaa One I never heard of, puteolata. Has the cutting rooted? Does it do well with water propagation?
@UltraKoreanfir it started some tiny roots. I guess most peps make roots anywhere in the stem/leaf, but this one is specifically at the node. I don’t have any other trailing peperomis if they’re all like that or not.

At one point some people were posting about it in this group and I was like ooooohhh what’s that on both posts 😝 had to have it
@Alinaa 😁 I get that ...I won't feel like such a copycat for going out and buying what I see others having then. I suppose, in a way, it's really a compliment that you're getting one of those "cool" plants someone else has. πŸ˜‰
