This wonderful lady accidentally sent me two boxes when I bought one of her Surprise Box of Plants offers. I LOVE the plants I got but unfortunately they were not labeled. I discovered what a few were by viewing the plants for sale in her ebay store, however I still do not know what some of these are. The link to the Photo Storage site is included and the mystery plants are number so please PM me if you know the identity of one or more of these lovelies! thumbup Thanks!

Nope--I have a Jade and it looks nothing like any of my Mystery plants.

cannot see it well, but 1st may be Ficus pumila

Mystery #1 not ficus pumila--the leaves are much more tender and dainty than those are which seem to be more like an ivy. These are a tender plant such as Baby's Tears but NOT Baby's Tears! Looks kind of like a small leafer, vining sort of Wandering Jew. It is a ground cover as it has roots all along the long pieces?? Mystery #3 is solved thanks to RugbyHukr--it IS Pholidebdron bipennifolium!! The other Philo however is NOT zanadu. This philo does not have split leaves. Thanks RugbyHukr!! Bonnie

Some of those Xanadu look to have many more grooves and much narrower. This has maybe 3 or 4 grooves and wide, not narrow. Not POSITIVE either way. Bonnie

I looked at it again as it needs watered and it DOES look like Xanadu?!! You are probably correct. Bonnie

I'm pretty sure #1 is a wandering jenny, there is also a varegated version that has a pinkish red stripe. Beautiful! Good luck with them!
