Not sure about the plants on your left but i have a plant that somewhat resembles your plant on the right. Mine has more arrow shaped leaves but also has the little plantlets that sprout when th4e fall off of the leaf. My grandmother called it a "Mother Plant" but i have also seen them named life plants. I believe they are in the Kalanchoe family.
Like the previous poster, I can't help with the one on the left, but can provide a definitive answer on the right-hand one: it's Kalanchoe tubiflora; common names I have seen are Chandelier Plant and Mother of Thousands.
The plant on the left looks very much like Haworthia cymbiformis. I have been told it is often confused with H. pallida. Each of the plants should be about an inch and a half or so across. Hope this helps. Bill
quick wilt?? Since my lasy thread the Kalanchoe tubiflora has wilted badly. Any ideas of what went wrong. Plant is in a pot and was moved to a different house 2 days ago. Pic 118 was taken 30 hrs. ago. Any help offered would be great.
It's very hard to kill (unless by freezing its tissues). But it may gradually decline if light or drainage inadequate. Around here it's one of our most difficult weeds to eradicate and invades native vegetation.
Tony, I said frostbite because Mwarwick said they moved to a different house. At this time of the year the average low temps could be -40*C. Newt
Thanks for pointing that out Newt, especially since I am sometimes the one reminding people of the importance of geography and climate. Even so, don't you think cold damage would be most evident at the young growing tip? Should add I'm glad I don't live in Winnipeg! Sydney winters are quite cold enough for me, rarely below 5 deg C.
Tony, no problem, but we've been very cold here too and my hubby brought me a plant with the temps below zero and it's not doing well at all. I do agree that one would think the top would be effected first, but sometimes plants are like kids and pets and you don't always know what they're going to do! I did notice that the soil seemed rather moist, but that could have just been from the picture being taken shortly after watering. Newt
