    The first 2 pictures are of a plant that I was given a leaf. I stuck it in the dirt and it started "sprouting" leaves out of it and then a very long stem.

    The second I bought at a flea market and the lady called it a Texas Corn plant. I can't find a plant by that name....

    Any Ideas?

    Thank you
    Andy

    The second one appears to be Callisia fragrans, Basketplant.

    How would I go about propagating the Epiphyllum oxypetalum? Can I cut the new leaves off and put them in dirt or cut them into pieces and plant each piece?
