Hello !

It is a pilea. It is a very large family but this one looks like a pilea involucrata.

Hope this helps !

The official name of your Moon Valley Friendship plant is Pilea mollis. They are so pretty with the variegated leaves.

Its some sort of begonia. If you Google begonia houseplant with bumps on leaves thatll get you started if you look at Images. When you find ones like yours, click on them to see if the names are the same, then look up that name for more info. Warning: if you start to collect begonias, its addictive!

There are so many cool variations! Bumps, speckled, coiled leaves, etc. And they can be hardy, prolific growers, really thriving, providing you give them ideal situations (bright indirect light, proper watering, normal good soil).
