need id help - December 10th, 2006 at 12:40 PM
i hate when plant tags just say 'tropical'!
i don't have a camera - so i will describe as well as i can...i know a few of you are really good at id's, so i'm hoping you can help...these need to be repotted and i want to make sure i put them in the right type of soil AND i want to make sure i put them in the right kind of lighting too!
1) dark green leaves with scalloped edges - oval with pointy end - they are 1 to 2 inches long and up to 3/4 inch at widest point. they're not thick leaves and are 'matte' not glossy. bushy-growth plant (not a vine) with no flowers.
2) variegated leaves with scalloped edges - green base with white/silvery accents and burgundy highlights - stems are also a bit burgundy in tone. oval with pointy ends. size is up to about an inch long and a bit over 1/2 inch wide. the leaves are not thick/fleshy and there is slight raised portions where the different colors are. seems to have the beginings of small clusters of white flowers at some of the nodes where leaves come out of the stems - could just be new growth tho, too small to be sure. bushy type growth, not a vine.
3) variegated leaves with scalloped edges - green with white/silver splotches on either side of center vein on the leaves. the leaves are oval/pointed at ends. they are about 1 1/4 inches long and about 1/2 inch across. bushy type growth, not a vine. no flowers.
thanks!!
