I'm terrified to see any of them die, so knowing what they were would help a lot. When I bought them she said they were for the most part really hard to kill. I know that one or two of them is a form of ivy, but which ones which? I have near zero gardening experience, these are the first plants i've ever bought. Didn't realise they weren't labeled until after I carried them all the way home (have no car). I plan on putting them into actual pots as they seem to really hate these dinky plastic things. Sorry about the image quality a) b) c) d + e)
a)Some sort of ivy? b) Pothos, Epipremnum. This plant is an aroid c) Some sort of ivy? d) Alocasia or Philodendron, another aroid e) ??? Ed
a) ivy - possibly hedera helix b) golden pothos or a philodendron, don't know which one (there are SO many!) c) ivy - probably another hedera cultivar d&e) left one: philodendron scandens right one: polka dot plant
Whoa, thanks for the responses! It would have been a heck of a lot more difficult finding information on these plants without the names. Thank you so much! I am thinking I will enjoy this forum a lot, as I do plan on attempting to grow some edibles in my sunroom, however I think it might get too hot in the summer... We will see though, this forum is huge and I have a lot of researching to do. Again, thanks a lot!
D appears to be a form of Philodendron hederaceum. That plant has over 20 scientific names and is the focus of a lot of disputes among collectors. One of the names is Philodendron scandens but botanists have lumped them all into a single species since they all produce a similar spathe and spadix. Think of it as different "faces". People have all kinds of facial features but we are all the same species. We have many races, skin colors, and features based on where we were born. But only one species. This plant is exactly the same way. This link may help you to understand all the better: http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Philodendron hederaceum pc.html
