A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Vining plant. Minitature Bananas?

HI everyone. I've had this plant for over a year & I have never seen another one(except for my sister-in-laws) We don't know what it's called. It's easy to start & grow. So far has never flowered. I'd like to find out what it is. I water it with warm water every 10 days or so & have it in a nice soft seed starter soil.
Please take a look. I've posted the plant on Gather. I hope this link works for you!
Please let me know if you recognize this plant!
Thanks.

This photo doesn't show for me. I am unfamiliar with Gather. Is that a photo hosting web site? Many of us here use Photobucket. I also couldn't see your pearl plant.

I'm sending you a PM because I've figured out why your photos aren't showing.

Am going to try this one more time to get the link right. This wasn't my choice but it's the program that came up. This should take you to flicker.
See my vinning "banana" plant (or whatever it is!).

Well, I just tried the link. You still have to highlight it and paste teh link into a new browser window. Once you do & hit Enter, mine said "page not found" but it was right in front of me. You'll see my plant & some other pics on my flicker site. Hope someone can help identify the plant!

It still doesn't work for me,, I don't see anything

bluebird I believe I have found your plant,, * I finally figured out how to view your Picture*
Your picture reminded me of a succulent,, so a succulent trailing plant search began,,

pretty plant.

Angelblossom..you are awesome! Thank you so much! You did find it. I searched a couple of times under succulents but never found anything. It's nice to finally have a name for this & know how to care for it. (about as I've been doing)
Also thank you for getting my photo posted. I tried the hyper link as you suggested but for some reason the copy & paste did not work.
I finally went to my web page on flicker & was able to add it. The last link that I put in here, worked for me. But only highlighting it starting from the "HTTP", omitting everything before that.
How did you manage to get photos in this post?
Thanks again very very much!
100 thumbs up!

You're Very Welcome 'Glad I could help you :wink:




I use Mozilla Foxfire and I just open another tab and use my photobucket account when I want to post a picture I have two tabs open , One for the Garden helper and one for photobucket ,, I copy the Image line from Photobucket( per picture) and paste into my post,
IF you don't have foxfire, you can just open another window to your photosite Copy from that window to paste into the post your Gardenhelper window is in,,
which ever line needs to be copied ( I think it varies with different photo sites ) Your site should say somewhere what line to use for forums . web pages etc,

I don't use Firefox. I use FLock. I'll try your suggestion next time I want to post a pic. I'm on photobucket as well as flicker & dumpr.
Thanks again for your help!
