    I purchased this plant today, it had no tag. I was wondering if anyone knew what the name of it was, and how to care for it.
    Thank You , hope this picture helps

    I believe it is Lotus berthelotti (Parrot's Beak).

    Thank You, I looked on the internet and it is indeed a parrots beak.
    I could not find alot about it's care however.
    If anyone knows how to care for this plant, that would be greatly appreciated.

    LOL.. oooops i was wrong ..when it was a lil pic it looked like a goldfish plant ..lol.. but now there is a bigger pic the plant looks like the parrots beak ...
    the care i found was they need alot of water .. some said full some and some said partial shade . just keep an eye on it and see how it reacts .. but one thing they agreed on was alot of water so keep an eye on that ..
    good luck with it

    Thanks Marn, sorry about the 1st small picture, that was my fault.
    Thank you for the info about the parrots beak, I will make sure I give it enough water and sun, and I will take your advice and keep a close eye on it.
    Thank You Again
