Please ID these 2 plants (with pics)
Comments (10)Neither plant plant is getting enough light. The Pilea in particular has very elongated stems between the nodes, a sure sign of inadequate light. I suggest pruning back the stems to where the growth is more compact and then provide more light. New growth will be more compact, which is what you want with a Pilea. The coffee plant appears to be in a pot that is too large and that means the soil is not drying out properly between waterings. Excess soil around the roots retains water for too long and causes root rot. Root rot symptoms often mimic excessive dryness symptoms because the roots are no longer absorbing water properly.

Comments (9)I agree with annie........location and climate have a great deal to do with how well plants establish and spread or display weedy/invasive tendencies. What may be a very well-behaved garden plant in Mindy's MA may be a rampant thug in the OP's much milder VA location. Actually, the PNW doesn't necessarily have more "noxious weeds" than other locations.......because this is primarily an agricultural state, we just tend to be very proactive in identifying those that are or could become problematic :-) Many plants that ARE considered invasive on the east coast are NOT here - like burning bush, Japanese barberries, nandina, etc. And we don't get all that much snow.......I'd venture to say no more than NJ, perhaps quite a bit less!...See MorePlant ID please, number 2
