    Hello! I'm new to this forum and so glad to find one like it! I have 13 plants I can't identify, some were "mercy" purchases, others were left behind by my sister when she stayed with us. Please help, I'll break it down into a few posts. Thanks so much!

    1. "mercy" purchase, was squeezed into a tiny pot. Seems to need very little care, low light and grows slowly
    2. My young son purchased as a gift, was simply tagged "assorted foliage", growing very rapidly
    3. My sister left this one behind near dead. I've managed to get it to start coming back but have no idea what it is
    4. Growing very rapidly, seems to like frequent watering and misting
    5. This one I purchased because I loved its leaves. They're very fuzzy/velvet feeling. It seems to be thriving despite not having a clue what it is lol

    Hi Chris! Just letting you know that I found the last one that you thought may be a jewel orchid. Oddly enough I found it while researching one of the others you identified for me lol. It's called a Siderasis or "brown spiderwort". Thanks so much for your help!!!!
