    Done! @Katmar these plants were long overdue for repotting so I took the chance. I love my white pots, although they do look like bathroom garbage cans…:laugh:. The first plant on the left is a silver bay Chinese evergreen, the second one is some sort of ivy with something else stuck in to the left (it has been in water for almost a decade…:facepalm:), and the one on the right is a cornstalk dracaena. All three were given to me by coworkers and I love them. One day I will root a piece of them and give them away. Pass it forward. :w00t:

    I have the same planter. They just stand out so nicely. I have a Chinese Evergreen Firecracker. It's multi-colored and HUGE now. That one in the middle looks somewhat like a philodendron family.

    I think the silver bay is such a pretty plant !
    It is my favorite! I also have a limelight dracaena that I repotted a few weeks ago that is also a favorite. I have a huge ivy on top of my fridge that is out of control. It has leaves as big as my hand. However, it grew up my kitchen wall and it was so naturally stuck to the wall that when it let go due to the weight it took the wall paint with it. I’m definitely going to cut it down and root it and give some away. It’s just too long at this point and I have it draped over the curtain rod on one side and over the cabinets on the other side. My Mom wants a piece of that one. And I need to repaint…:lol:

    Somewhere between here and there
    If I lived close by I would be happy to do it for both of you. @Katmar @hittman My nickname is The Cleaning Machine after all.

    If only. Seriously though, I’d love to have someone do it for me. I’m just not much of a cleaner or organizer for the most part. I did organize my flavors out of necessity though. Organized chaos seems to be more my style.

    I think that’s it! My friend also stuck something else to the left that looks like a small elephant ear plant. I can’t believe that one made it in just water for so long. :unsure:

    Would probably last a very long time, if not forever, in water...:)

    That is very much MY style also. See, we DO have something in common. Did you see what I did there? I'm bribing you with kind words.....:p My car really needs cleaned.

    I take it you looked it up? It's beautiful and grows like a weed. So make sure you have planters big enough for re potting. I LOVE it. Adds such a splash of color on my deck in the summer and family room in the winter! Hope you can get one.

    Hmmm...

    Lulo


    Description/Taste
    The greenish pulp is separated into four sections and has a jelly-like consistency and small, pale yellow seeds. The flavor is slightly sweet and acidic with notes of citrus, pineapple and kiwi. Ripe Lulo are delicate and easily bruised.

    I'm gambling on @ShowMeTwice's discovery that lulo brings moisture to a mix much as cactus does. I'm hoping I agree, because I often find mixes to be dry but can't stand the taste of cactus.

    I’m hoping so too but will try just a couple drops at first.
