HELP TRAILING PLANT IDENTIFICATION

5 years ago

Bought this plant recently and it had no information with it on its species. Really hoping someone could help so I can research it. The leaves are quite thin but leathery, and some have lighter/yellow streaks. The stems (?) are also quite thick but still flexible. Would be really grateful for any advice.

Thanks

Not 100% but I reckon it’s a Wandering Jew.

Yep I agree. Fantastically easy to grow - they put up with a load of abuse and neglect. They're also super easy to propagate, just cut a bit off, take the leaves off a node and put it in soil, they root in no time.

Thank you so much Carolina, you've been a massive help, I'm definitely going for the vinca minor and I've got some bulbs coming up that I put in last Autumn( I don't seem to mind daffodills!) The garden was only landscaped last September it's quite small & I'd describe as urban, decking, slate & patio., I wanted low maintenance but had the beds put in so I could have some space for planting, it's all new to me but thorough enjoying planning what to plant! Thanks again

@catalanqueen it has struggled but it's still alive! It has been in a few rooms around the house, including the bathroom which it didn't seem to like - despite having a large window I think that the spot it was in in there was too dark for it. I've recently moved it out to our sunroom, where it seems to be thriving (contrary to all of the recommended growing conditions for calathea). The humidity is low but I've found that wetting the leaves at least once a week keeps it happy and it's throwing out lots of new leaves which is great.

One of my favourite herbaceous plants is the Geranium family (not to be confused with summer bedding of the same name). My front garden faces north east so only gets early sun and the Geraniuns grow well there. They come in a huge range of colours from white to deep magenta. They are not very tall so ideal in a front garden. Another good doer is Alchemilla Mollis which has frothy acid green flowers. Some bulbs grow well in shade like grape hyacinths but the bulbs need to be planted in autumn, unless you buy potted ones which are flowering now. Euphorbia are good too, but try the low growing ones. There are so many fab plants which grow in shade. Try the RHS website which is full of helpful advice. Here are some pics:EUPHORBIAS GRAPE HYACINTHS GERANIUM ROZANNE ANOTHER GERANIUM ALCHEMILA MOLLIS

Bonsai Tree Plant IDENTIFICATION HELP

I THINK that it isn't a bonsai in the true sense of the word, but it is in fact a buxus or box plant., shaped and grown to appear tree like. The trouble is, If I'm right, I don't think the plant is a "dwarf" as such and will just try to grow like normal, which poses two problems, firstly it'll try to grow too big and secondly, the soil won't be enough to sustain it and it will look sickly and eventually die and if you feed it .....it will grow. That said I just THINK that's what it is, it may be worth taking it along to a good garden centre to get a confirmation of what it is first.
