Author Topic: 2 plants I would love help identifying Amber Petersen Dream Gardener Member # 6854 posted                       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. bbbbbbbbb Amber Posts: 125 | From: Charlottetown PEI | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Logged: 24.222.25.27 kirksgirl Great Gardener Member # 7196 posted                       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.

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 bbbbbbbbb Amber Posts: 125 | From: Charlottetown PEI | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Logged: 24.222.25.27 Bill The Garden Helper Member # 1 posted                       The second plant is a Polka Dot Plant (Hypoestes) bbbbbbbbb Posts: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Logged: 165.121.26.52 Amber Petersen Dream Gardener Member # 6854 posted                       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. bbbbbbbbb Amber Posts: 125 | From: Charlottetown PEI | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Logged: 24.222.25.27 Amber Petersen Dream Gardener Member # 6854 posted                       Do polka's bloom?? Was wonder what the long stem thing that was coming from it was. (it's brown and mostly dead now) bbbbbbbbb Amber Posts: 125 | From: Charlottetown PEI | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Logged: 24.222.25.27 Bill The Garden Helper Member # 1 posted                       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. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Logged: 165.121.26.8 dodge Garden Pro!

The new growth is fuzzy, mature growth isn't. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Logged: 165.121.27.35 margaret e. pell Super Gardener Member # 4427 posted                       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. http://images.google.com/images?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&q=fittonia&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images bbbbbbbbb may God bless the WHOLE world!
