My plants

19 years ago

After a huge clearance sale at walmart and a whole lot of fun i have added alot of houseplants so i just wanted to share what i have in my home, hope that is okay because i am really excited about them and noone other than my mom that i know enjoys houseplants and since i have not been known to be a in house gardener i am thinking i have made a giant step for mankind lol. K here is what i have:

arrowhead phillodendron

red edge dracaena (3)

polka dot plant

pothos ivy

dumb cane

jade plant ( i saw where you can take leaves and lay them touching the soil and start a new plant, so trying that)

peperomia (2)

dracaena warneckei compacta

gold dust croton

hawaiian schefflera-umbrella tree

arabia- either black spinach or celery

crassula tetragona- mini pine tree (2)

palms/palmera

sanseviera (3)

took a long time on the internet and with the help of fellow board members to figure out what each was, so thanks for your help. Now lets see if i can keep them all alive :P .

The arrowhead - are you sure it's a philodendron and not a syngonium? Red 'edge' dracaena is D. marginata (if you want to look it up) and the crassula that you're calling a mini pine tree ... crassula is a succulent, a tropical, like a jade tree, and a pine (Pinus... whatever) tree is a conifer that needs to live outdoors in the cold, so I'd be very curious to know what yours is really like.

Oh yeah we like it when you share, especially if you include pics.
Good luck with all them.

I just found a picture of the crassula - now I know why they call it a 'pine' tree!

You are as bad as me!!!!! I love to shop at the garden center at Wal-Marts, especially in the winter because they clearence the plants out faster:)
Do you have a Home Depot or a Lowes nearby where you are at?? I have found some great bargains at those places as well this winter.
I like the plants at wal-marts that are 2 for 7.00, picked up all kinds of plants that way, even found my monstera for that price (okay, okay I picked up 3 pots of them:) I also found my Money plants (guilty, 3 of those as well) for that price, of course then I seen the warnings on them from over here. So far they are doing wonderful, but I am trying to not get too attached:(
You found your Bridal Veil at Wal-Marts?? That is one that is on my wish list, Maybe I will eventually find it:)
good luck on your new plants:)

http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Crassulaceae/Crassula_tetragona.html link to the crassula tetragona aka mini pine tree :), for those that are just curious i know lucy found a picture...there are like 300 varieties of crassula its mind boggling.

micke i have not checked at lowes, and we do have a local one...my mom happens to work at walmart in lawn and garden so she lets me know when things go on clearance. But i will have to check lowes out, i go there sometimes. They have bridal veil on and off at walmart here in indiana.

lucy what i am calling a arrowhead philldendron looks like a sygonium also how do you tell the difference? I looked up D marginata thanks. It really blows my mind i have these little plants and i look at pictures and some of what i have small gets huge!!!!!, its just crazy :)!

rhizo i have read about many creepy crawlers on this site and just learned that about ivy, thanks for reminding me though...i've decided just to stay away from all those creepy crawlers lol :). Seriously though i have read you guys often spray with a alcohol solution what part alcohol to water?

I may take some pictures later as they start to grow with spring coming and post them :). thanks for welcoming my excitement, it's nice to know there are people that understand the love i have for flowers. I keep encouraging the girls at work- but no luck :(.
