A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 2 plants I would love help identifying

Can anyone tell me (1) what these two plants are? and (2) how can I take a peice...lol.
This one has nice pink flowers

and this one is only tiny so I'm not sure about taking a peice off of it, but I would still like and ID if anyone knows. It's kinda fuzzy and it looks like it had a long stem that might have had a flower? guessing that because the long stem part is now dead.

Thanks a lot for any help.

The top picture looks a lot like a Kalancho,it has the thick waxy leaves and stems, and the little clumped flowers. But I could be wrong. I took one of my Kalancho leaves and put it back into the soil and it rooting- Is that you meant mby taking a piece.

Umm...so no guesses on the second yet? And I think I will just try to take a cutting and dip it in some root hormone, see if it will grow. I don't have near enough flowering plants in my apartment, and since I'm looking after Ian's while he's gone for 3 months.... heehee

The second plant is a Polka Dot Plant (Hypoestes)

OOO!!! I really want a polka dot plant (I've seen some cute photos) This one is a bit TOO small to be taking peices though...I guess I will have to get my own.

Do polka's bloom?? Was wonder what the long stem thing that was coming from it was. (it's brown and mostly dead now)

They get a stalk of tiny blue "nothing" flowers. If allowed to go to seed, the plant will die so I always pinched the flowers off right away.

Can I put my 2 cents in?
i had a polka dot plant and it was pink and green. It wasnt fuzzy ........I was ...

they are nice though.

I agree with Kol. it is all types.

Polka Dots can have different shades of white, red or pink dots. The new growth is fuzzy, mature growth isn't.

Maybe #2 is a fittonia. Someone just asked about one and I didn't know what it was, so I googled it. The pics reminded me of yours.

I just got a dish garden with them and i no what they are. the top is a Kalancho and the second is a polkadot plant. They're both very pretty!
