Hey everyone. I am new here and I need some help identifying a few house plants that were given to me by my mother-in-law. I would really like to know what they are so I know how to take care of them. Thanks!
On the right it appears to be:
Sweedish ivy aka Plectranthus australis. A bright spot with indirect sun or just morning sun will make this plant happy. Water when the soil is slightly dry. Pinch to make it fuller when it starts to look leggy or just cut it back. Can often be rooted in water. Your plant looks like it's either been sunburned or overwatered. I can't quite tell from the pics. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/interiorscape/Plectranthus_australis.html
Thankyou so much for helping me! I kinda already knew what the first one was but I wanted to make sure. But the second one I had no clue. My hubby left it right in the direct sun and over watered it! I have had it for a few years now with no problems until now. While I was gone my hubby moved it and totally ripped off part of the plant...he said it was an accident but who knows. I did pinch off a few spots and I have them in water right now. Thankyou so much again!
Malenda, you are so very welcome! I'm sure your Sweedish ivy will bounce back. If not, you can always start with the 'new' cuttings your hubby supplied! I once left my ex in charge while I was away for a month. I left notes on the plants like:
water when dry to the touch
keep slightly moist
I came home to some plants that had succomed to Saraha Desert-like conditions and others that looked as if they'd been kept in a swamp! I lost many plants that year. That wasn't the reason he became my ex though.
