there are a few plants i have that i just dont know what they are. this first one i have had for years.... but have no idea what it is - it behaves like a phliodendron.. but at the same time it doesnt. it has grown from one branch only and used to have the strength to stand on it's own - but got so leggy i wrapped it around a branch. the new growth comes from the stem of the leaf before it.. curling and lifting out.. very strange. those are the circled sections. and now after wrapping it - it has branched out to more growth - finally. i'd love to find out what this plant really is if anyone has any idea.
this one is an odd one.... a definate cacti with leaves....
this is a succulent i think of somekind? has hairs coming off the sides of the leaves.. my camera doesnt work too well lol.
this one is really neat looking - lots of the paddel flowers.. i've seen them single and pink - but not orange and multi
this was a rescue... no clue what it is saddly....
thanks so very much for any ideas you might have on my mystery plants!

it isnt like a hoya.. unfortunately... it feels like a philodendron... smells similar too when broken or bruised. thin leaves - they just look waxy from being washed before i took the pictures... thanks for iding the bromeliad!

Hi Damia, I think you're probably right about the 1st one being a Philodendron. Most of them do grow more robustly with some support, so that branch you gave it has probably made it happier.
#2 ~ (photo #5) looks like it could be a young Pachypodium (maybe P. geayi). #3 ~ I think, might be a young Yucca plant. #4 ~ I agree, is a lovely Bromeliad. #5 ~ appears to be Dracaena "Lemon Lime".

Wow.... how very cool to learn about the Pachypodium.... thanks so very much for identifying it! and i do agree on the last one being a dracaena... i think i found it is Warneckii after looking it up more on the web. Thanks so very much! a young yucca... i'm goning to have to watch that one with interest for sure.. yucca's are neat. not as neat as the Pachy plant though!
