Need help identifying plants in photo
Comments (4)caveat ... i burned up a lot of plants with black mulch ... it just got too hot in the heat of summer .... cooking shallow roots.. and baking lower leaves ... i would probably.. with that brick/rock work ... have gone with a natural.. unstained mulch.. which would have faded to a very similar grey ... the plants under the window.. were planted EXACTLY for the size they were at purchase.. unfortunately.. they will NOT stay that size ... and will need to be pruned once or twice a year ... ken...See MoreHi everyone. New here... need some help identifying these plants :)
Comments (8)1. is too far away to id. for certain. Possibly Spiraea arguta clipped so it hasn't flowered. 2. is a Fuchsia - not necessarily a winter hardy one. 3. is Buddleja - quite likely a self sown one that someone has attempted to cut down. 4. Sorbus cultivar possibly S aucuparia 'Chinese Lace'. 5. Philadelphus or Deutzia - new growth is tricky to distinguish. Erring on the side of Philadelphus. 6. Potentilla fruticosa (see above for the latest name change but still widely referred to as Potentialla.) 7. Campanula portenschlagiana, a very common self sower. 8. Aucuba japonica All are run of the mill except the Sorbus. If you cadged that one you got a bargain....See MoreID
Comments (7)Thanks for the additonal pix. Still hard to say, but the leaves remind me of Hoyas (which tend to vine or trail). Yet the upright growth habit suggests a ZZ plant. If you find on unpotting, these tubers, a bit potato like, it'll confirm ZZ tubers. Looks reasonably healthy, will improve on repotting. I'd get basic Cactus & Succulent mix, trying to avoid fertilizers or moisture added agents. I'd also buy a bag of perlite & I'd mix it 50/50 of each. Some folks suggest rinsing the perlite, but I don't. Pls don't use pebbles a bottom of the pot, that's been shown not to help & can impede drainage. Try maybe a 4 or 5" plastic pot, I can't quite judge the size. There's another plant in there, that frillier leaf, looks a bit like celery leaves (I see 2 stalks of that). MAY be some kind of Aralia/Polyscias. I'd love to see pix of this unpotted/ with the roots spread out, you can just separate them w/ your fingers, these are not delicate plants.

Comments (13)I have a small spot I set aside for growing a few tropicals.I have pandan,lemongrass,turmeric and I stuck a couple avocado seeds in there.The turmeric hasn't shown up yet.I planted a ginger root once and it took a long time to come up too and it's in the same family as turmeric.Hope you identify your plant.When it flowers that should help a lot. I'm interested in seeing some blooming Indian lonicera pictures.That part of the world has some amazing plants.If I lived there I would need a very large yard....See MoreUser
