Plant gifts.... Need help.... - March 16th, 2006 at 09:09 AM
Hey all,
As some of you know, I've been looking for a house plant that flowers (in addition to the AV's that we have) to satisfy my wife. Today, a friend of ours brought us three plants that she had purchased at Wally World for us. One is a Gardenia that has both white and yellow blooms. I did a search about Gardenias. I don't mean to sound ungreatful, but from what I have read, they are not exactly the easiest plant in the world to grow!! Is that true or not? Any suggestions or recommendations as to how a Gardenia newbie should care for it?
Here is a pic of the plant:
The other two plants that she gave us are simply labeled "Rose Flower." The label also says "Let Dry Before Watering," and Bright Indirect Light." No scientific name or anything. Here's a pic of the label:
There is one that has red/pink blooms and one that has yellow blooms. Here is a pic of the one with red/pink blooms:
The leaves are kind of thick and rubbery like lots of succulents that I've seen in the past. I've tried doing a search for them, but have found nothing other than information about rose bushes and miniature roses. Can anyone help me with more information about this plant? If so, I would cerainly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!!
