Need help identifying unknown plant

16 years ago

Well, to start, I bought this from walmart in not so great of a condition so I have no idea where it came from in the slightest. It was the only one left. I took a picture of it, here's a link.

I have no idea what this plant is, and I need to know what it is to know what kind of sun and watering needs it has. Thanks a ton!

Here is a link that might be useful:

What is that white stuff on it?? Does it wash off?? I have mine in filtered light most of the day with a bit of morning and afternoon sun. These are one of the hardiest Dracaenas because their leaves are not as soft as the rest. I would make sure the soil is nearly dry before watering.

Two-lined Spittlebug, adult. Next time, start your very own new thread rather than hitchhiking on one that is 6 years old and of a different subject. You'll get more attention to your question PLUS we love to see new posts and new people.

Yep, found pictures of S. sarmentosum and I have to agree that is what the mystery plant is. I thought the other plant was the moss rose I planted last year making a comeback, but now I don't think so. I think I remember this being around last year in addition to the moss rose and the S. sarmentosum. It just has never grown as prolifically as the S. sarmentosum.

The last one looks like it is a sweet rocket or hesperis matronis. It's a reasonably tall lavender coloured flower that blooms over a long period. They self seed, but are very easy to pull out and as they tend to bloom a long time in my garden I always welcome some in my garden.

That looks like dust, should clean off easily. Just wanted to add the plant looks overwatered, I'd let it dry out well before giving a drink again. A clay pot just a big larger might help with drainage.
