"Assorted foliage" from Lowes What is it?




Anyone know? Houseplant? I'm thinking it's some kind of spider plant but, I have no idea! It says it grows 18"-24" which is what it is at now. Either way it was 75% off.

I also got my beloved Croton on sale for $2.50.

I am guessing maybe a type of palm or dracanea (sp?). Just a couple of guesses. I had a corn plant that looked very similar.

Looks like Dracaena sanderiana - Lucky Bamboo. (Variegated, of course.)

Nice finds Sunny, and fantastic prices!

The first is a Dracaena for certain, but my guess is Dracaena deremensis 'Warnecki',
one which is commonly called "Lemon-Lime" due to the yellow and green coloring.

Thanks guys and girls!

I think it is the lemon lime kind. I checked the web site where it was from and they do make the "Warnecki". Either way it is very pretty. Especially for $2.50. I got the 2 above plants, 2 Christmas cactus, four little succulent called "jelly beans" something or other, and an ( I have no idea how to spell this) amarillis bulb for under $10.

I also lifted some seeds from a really pretty shrub that was destined for the trash. Shhh....don't tell!!!!!

Thanks Dustin.

The second one is a Croton. Codiaeum variegatum. I knew what that one was. I had one before but one of my ferrets dug it out of it's pot and it died after that. I just love the colors on all the leaves. I have been wanting another one for about a year now but couldn't afford full price.
