Is that a variegated plant? And..it's climbing isn't it (can't tell from the pic) is it on a vine?

Oh, and would you be able to identify it if you saw the name on a list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houseplant_care#Data_for_some_common_houseplants)?

Think it might be this one (http://www.houseofplants.co.uk/Epipremnum_aureum.htm) - Epipremnum aureum (Scindapsus aureus) AKA Devils Ivy
It's not a philodendron (http://www.houseofplants.co.uk/Philodendron_scandens_Sweetheart_Plant.htm) is it?
Heres the index (http://www.houseofplants.co.uk/indexofplants.html)

the vines have little suckers at the bottom which climb the coco-hair tube in the middle,

thanks for the link,, it would be nice to have a "plantwedia" a bit like wikipedia but for plants..

ill check the link out :)

Someone posted the same plant on a different forum today and was told that it was a philodendron.

that is a variegated philodendron. It is mildly poisonous so if you have pets that like to chew on plants or young children, it might be best to put it up and out of the way.
From looking at that pic, it looks like it is getting a lot of indirect light. If you reduce the light a bit, ie move it to a darker place, the light patches on the leaves will increase and make it much more dramatic. All it takes is a couple of days a month to bring this out. I place mine in a closet for 2 or 3 days at a time and keep the door shut and then bring it back out again

Please identify my plant my fellow growers!! As mentioned earlier I bought this yucca type plant but didn't realise the label didn't have the name of the plant on it so i was hoping everyone can help me find out what this could be??? :confused:

[Foz]

no idea sorry....but its lovely!

[Tania]

The most common is yucca filamentosa (variegated - 'Bright Edge') - Adams needle. It looks like yours :)

Thanks for your help Tania - Yes the filamentosa is quite common but I found out (took a while!) that it is a "Dracaena Deremensis" or "janet craig plant"

I've attached a PDF which gives more details.

Can someone identify this strange plant please:

[Riz]

^ hi farah,,

dunno what that it is, it has a real unique beauty about it.. hope someone can identify it, its very intriguing.

[~Obsidian~]

Can someone identify this strange plant please:

I think I've got it! Sedum Spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco'. Hope I'm right!

http://www.hillkeep.ca/images/Sedum_spathulifolium_groundcover.jpg
Here's how I found that - noted that the flowers were yellow, and that it appeared to be a succulent. Thought the leaves looked very 'rosette' like, so I used that as my search term. Googled it as an image search and whenever I found something that looked similar I'd google image search that particular species to get a general idea of how it looked (so as not to base judgement on how the particular species in the pic might look).

Other possible matches could have been

Graptopetalum Paraguayense
and
Sempervivum Montanum

but the flowers looked spot on in alot of the pictures for Cape Blanco
! If I wanted to be doubly sure could still do a characteristic/growing environment search but I canny be bothered :o

[Riz]

^ arnt you the clever one,, well done :)

very impressed oby

[~Obsidian~]

LOL

Don't ask me why I posted all of that :o probably a knock-on effect from work

[farah]

hehe excellent, thank you so much! :cheerleader: i will be looking in to the cape blanco, its such a mysterious looking plant I wonder where the person who lived here before bought it from, thought it may be a Chinese flower... but maybe its used to distract snails the two in the pic seem quite preoccupied with it.

Description: 2in (5cm). Evergreen. Succulent rosettes of greyish-white leaves, sometimes tinged with purple. Minute yellow flowers in May and June. Poisonous.

Cultivation: Fully hardy. Sun and fertile, well drained soil.
