Hello, I bought this plant at Home Depot... there was no identification other than "Tropical Plant". Anyone know what it is? I need to find out how to care for it... Thank you!
But not too quick for me... geez... thanks...!!! I wish they were that fast on geeks to go... ;-) Do you know if it needs a lot of light? How about watering? Does it have a common name?
It is commonly called watermelon peperomia or watermelon begonia. Here is a page about it. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/interiorscape/Peperomia_argyreia.html
Thank you Eric... :-) Can we try another, please? The colors didn't come out quite right on the photo. The leaves are more of a dark green with a white stripe all along the edges. The plant is about 6' tall and the leaves are approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide...
Looks like Dracaena fragrans 'Warneckii', (syn. D. deremensis 'Warneckii'), Striped Dracaena. BTW, it's a good idea to start a new thread for subsequent plants to be identified.
Well, I've been image hunting on Google... and it does look like some of the Warneckii photos, but not all... However, there is no yellow at all on this plant... so I think the first answer is right... Thank you, thank you all... :-) And I will remember to start a new post next time...
