I recently bought some plants from a yard sale of sorts. The person didnt know what one of the plants were and told me names for the others that dont match any pictures. need help bad
Number one is begonia "gobe", the seond plant is cordyline terminalis, and the third ia a dieffenbachia. Hope this helps you out.
Not too sure if the second is a Cordyline (Ti Plant)ttp://www.rarepalmseeds.com/de/pix/CorTer.shtml It almost resembles a Yucca?
when i got it it was VERY dry and without alot of dirt in the pot. i repotted it and watered. i was told to only water it from the bottom. now i notice some of the leaves going soft.??
thanks for all the help everybody! if anyone has any tips on caring for these plants it would be greatly appreciated. thanks again for all your time!
It is definately a cordyline, I have 2 of the same variety in my home, they are just not colourful like there cordyline brothers and sisters.
All three plants will survive in bright indirect light, the Ti plant and the dieffenbachia can take some sun. Allow the dieff and the Ti plant to dry out between waterings, and you can fertilize them with a regular houseplant fert in the spring and summer. As for the begonia, keep it slighty moist all the time and you can water it from above. Never let it sit in water for too long otherwise it may rot the stems. If some of the stems break off or you decide to prune it back they will easliy root in water. Hope this info helps you out.
