Answer by Vernal H
check the internet for nurseries in your area, . there are a lot of sources on the internet but this not a good time of the year to have them go through the mail or ups. according to the internet there is a millcreek nursery ltd @ 3103-17 street you could check there

So I bought a “tropical foliage” houseplant yesterday, but have been unsuccessful at identifying it. It’s kind of like a typical spider plant, the leaves are shaped like a spiderplant but are angled up, like it was well watered. But it’s got long, thin dark green leaves that all originate from the same spot in the pot. The leaves have red/pink edges and seem like they turn dark purple/jade colored as they mature. No obvious stem or flowers. Can anyone link me a picture and a name? Thanks!

I bought the cutest little green plant this weekend called a “Hindu Rope”. I’ve been told it’s a “Hoya” and the lady at the plant store said it’s a succulent, but she didn’t know much about it. They’d just gotten them in. I would welcome any information on care of this plant. Thanks!

I bought a planter at Ikea that has 6 or 7 different kinds of plants in it and am not sure how I should be watering it. It doesn’t have a sticker that says what the plants are but I did some looking around online and I think these plants (or some similar looking species) are what I have:

Schefflera arboricola “umbrella plant”
Aglaonema “Chinese Evergreen”
Aphelandra squarrosa “Zebra plant”
Chlorophytum comosum “Spider plant”
Dieffenbachia (maybe)
Ficus elastica “Rubber plant” (maybe)
Marantaceae “Prayer Plant” (maybe)
Sansevieria (some variety)

From what I understand these all have different light/water requirements. How frequently to I water this? Do I keep the soil moist?

Also do I need to turn it every once in awhile so the side facing my living room gets more light facing the window?

Thank you so much!!!
It is still in the plastic bootleg terracotta looking pot it came in. I didn’t have enough money at the time to get a different pot. But it does have holes in the bottom and I did buy a dish for the water to go in to. It has accidentally over flowed a few times….ooopppsss…..

Best answer:

Answer by HEIDI H
Biggest question is- are there drainage holes in the bottom of the container?? If so, than the water can drain out- that’s a good thing. Stick your finger in the soil about an inch, and if it feels dry, give it some water, until you see the water coming out the bottom. If the soil feels soggy, wait to water it until the soil feels dry. If it has no holes, better just water it sparingly because the water cant drain out and the roots will get soggy and they will rot eventually. better of to mist it with a water spray bottle every 3-4 days depending on how hot it is in your house. none of those plants like direct sun, so place where they get indirect light. Turning is always good.
Good luck!
