Indoor Plant Identification

[Pokeymeg]

I'm good at identifying outdoor plants, but kind of hopeless with indoor plants. Anyone know what this is? I have it on my desk at work and just found a mealy bug on it (my arch nemesis! I've lost too many jade plants to them!), so I'm curious if this plant is prone to them.

I don't know what it is, but a tip about mealy bugs...they usually attack a stressed plant. Keep your plant watered well (but not over watered) and healthy, and you shouldn't have a mealy bug problem.

Thanks Yvonne I just got this plant very recently, so I have no doubt it was stressed at some point or got it from another plant.... As for my Jade plants, I've never had a mealy bug problem except with jade plants! Maybe they are stressed around me! :-O

And I'd still love if someone could identify it!

That plant almost looks like a vinca. I don't know what it is for sure though.

OK, well thank you for the input! I'll see if I can find a plant forum or something somewhere on this big ol' internet!
