Good morning all! My office had a sale on plants as, for some odd reason, they have just banned them. So, I saw the opportunity and picked up a few for $10 each. Unfortunately, I am really bad with plants and need some help on keeping them alive. I am including links to the images below and have some related questions for each as well: They are all kept in my house with varying amounts of light and temperatures that range from 65F to 85F. - What is this plant? - How do I care for it (light and water)? - Is the plant toxic to a cat who seems to like to chew on leaves? Plant 1 Plant 2 Plant 3 Plant 4 Plant 5 (for plant 5 - the leaves are also starting to spot and turn brown - help please) Plant 5 - Brown Leaves Plant 5 - Spots Plant 6 Thank you all very much for your time - I really appreciate it! John
1. Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) 2. Schefflera arboricola 3. Dracaena sanderiana 4. Schefflera arboricola 5,6,7: Palm 8. Dracaena fragrans ('corn plant') Welcome to the Forum! You have some nice plants.
#3 looks like Dracaena fragrans 'White Stripe'. The palm appears to be Howea forsteriana, Sentry Palm.
Thank you all for the names - this is really helpful. I can now look up general care information for each. And thank you for chiming in on the cat question Lorax. John
