Names of plants

Question

Can someone please tell me the real names of these plants and whether I could repot pieces broken off?

Marcell Loomis · Answer

The first one is Sansiveria. If you break off a leaf, it can be directly planted in soil and will root. Sansiveria is an incredibly strong plant and puts up with lots of 'neglect', but does not like to be overwatered (which is why direct planting is better than trying to root one in water). The second one is a type of Dracaena. Same method of propagating.  Also, another hardy plant! I am unfamiliar with the last one.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

The first one is mother of tongue also know as a snake plant. It will not root in water. Place the broken piece in soil but do not overwater as these plants store water in the leaves.The second is Dracena fragrans massangeana . Again they do not like a lot of water so the cutting will not toot in water. The third looks like pencil cactus.

Carlin Ellison · Answer

Your plant is Sanseveria trifasciata

Things You'll Need
Scissors or hand-held pruners
Dry erase marker
1-gallon plastic pot
Succulent potting soil
Plastic bag
6-inch plastic pots

Select one or two healthy leaves from an established sansevieria plant in late spring. Look for leaves with thick flesh and good coloring. Cut the leaves near their base using scissors or hand-held pruners. Cut it at a 45-degree angle approximately 1 inch above the top of the soil. Lay the leaves on a flat surface. Cut them into 1- to 3-inch-long sections. Mark the tip and end of each section to indicate which end points toward the top of the plant and which end points toward the roots. It is vitally important to mark the leaves so they are placed in the pot with the root end in the soil.

Pam Byrd · Answer

The first plant (I call a snake plant) Will grow new plants if you take off a few leaves with the root. Be careful if you plant them in the yard... they will eventually take over!!

Kathie Kleiveland · Answer

#1 is mother-in-law tongue or Snake plant Sanseveiera Trifasciata

Elaine · Answer

Yes, first one is Sansevieria.  Will tolerate low light if grown inside but if it gets lots of sun inside, I've seen them bloom!!  My daughter's did - here in southern Ontario.  Easily propagated by gently separating a few leaves (with roots!) and potting up.  If grown inside, it grows slowly and can stay in same pot indefinitely.   Water well but only once a week or ten days.

The second plant is a Dracaena - also called Corn Plant.  It likes more light.  I've personally never split one up but my brother once  cut an extra stalk off, rooted it in a glass of water then potted up and kept inside.

The last plant is unknown to me.

K · Answer

The first plant is Sansevieria,  commonly called snake plant for the taller version and mother in laws tongue for the shorter more rosette pattern version.  They come in green or variegated and a variety of patterned colorations.   Cuttings can be started either by using cuttings from single leaves or cluster leaves with roots.  I've also found that bloom/seed stalks appear when my  pots are crowded / pot bound.   One of the easiest plants to grow.

The second plant is a dracaena,  commonly called a corn plant.

The third plant is called pencil cactus.  It has  a milky sap that is irritating to skin.  I have made many cuttings from mine that has reached over 5' tall, full and beautiful.  It makes small little little leaves that eventually grow into the round stems --- just another amazing plant.  ENJOY

Sandra Gibson · Answer

The second plant is a corn plant

Eileen · Answer

The second plant is a corn plant or dracaena.  Very hardy houseplant as it can grow w/little light.  If the leaves are getting brown at the tips...that's a sign of inconsistent watering.  Don't soak, but soil must be moist.  Hope this helps!  Pam, Kathie & Elaine gave you great advice for the snake plant.  The 3rd, I don't know.

3. Last one is pencil cactus or Euphorbia tirucalli. cuttings should root

Jro12509482 · Answer

The first one, mother in laws tongue, can be divided into more plants.  If you cannot get it to divide, just cut it with a kitchen knife.  The second one, a corn plant, can be cut about midway on the stem.  The stem can then be planted and the cut piece left in the original pot will grow new leaves so you will have 2 plants.  If you have some rooting hormone the cutting will root faster but you don't have to use that.

Ade7785219 · Answer

Sansiveria=  to repot broken stems place in tepid water, If viable, will grow roots which then can be replanted to a growing pot, if does not take, will shrivel up and die, then at least you will know which plants you can keep on multiplying and which are a one time item

Susan · Answer

Plant #1:  Sansevieria trifsciata best propagated by division.  #2:  Dracaena fragans massangeana #3:  Euphorbia tirucalli (misc. varieties) which roots from fresh cuttings.

Jan1 · Answer

appears you have all your answers, last one is a Pencil Cactus, you can start a piece easily, break off a section at trunk stick in dirt and watch it grow,  I have started all of mine this way, largest one I ever grew was about 6' tall, have one at 5' now but do not like a lot of water  and great for Florida sun.  Mother-In- Laws tongue as it is known I believe you will find rizones underground, propagates itself and spreads very fast all by itself can dig up and replant to start more.  Corn plant never had a use for, sorry,  just an old Florida gardener!
