My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help With House Plant ID’s

7 years ago
Need some help identifying several small plants I picked up at the local garden center. All of them are in standard 4” clay pits for size reference.

    1st is a Breynia, 2nd is some kind of variegated Poliscias / Aralia. 3rd is variegated Dizzygotheca elegantissima or False Aralia. I don't know the 4th, maybe a Ficus of some kind. Nice whatever it is.

    It's great that you've got them in what looks like somewhat fast draining mix, but I might have left them in plastic pots, so they don't dry out as fast.

    Great looking group, nice haul.
