Recently moved into a fixer upper house that l trying to make my home. There are so many projects inside the house- l have to take a break and walk around the yard so l can cry-jkLots of issues with the yard- l am not sure what this is but l really like it - anyone know what it is and how you can transplant them to a different part of the yard? Can they be planted in a pot and brought inside?
I dug the plant up and it seems to have some type of fern looking root system and it was hard to get all of the roots because they have some type of prickly things on the root- ouch. I place the plant on top of a tree that has fallen. I hoping my Hometalk community friends can help me out.
Thank-you
Laura
It looks like some type of fern.
Looks like some type of fern'
It does look "ferny". not knowing how long you've been in your home, I'd watch it for a year to see if it blooms or just has foliage. Place it in the same exposure it was happy in and watch. I searched Bing by image and there's so many it could be. Since it was happy outside I wouldn't bring it in the house. Some plants just don't like the home environment. Good luck and keep us posted.
Idea - take it to a local nursery to see if they can identify it
There are apps for that purpose. I use "picture this". You just snap a picture and the app does the rest.
I took a picture of your picture and it's a Japanese climbing fern. It's also considered an herb!
'Japanese climbing fern can grow in sun or shade, damp, disturbed or undisturbed areas. It can grow so dense that it forms a living ‘wall’, leading to the elimination of seedlings and other native vegetation. Japanese climbing fern was added to the Florida Noxious Weed List in 1999. It is also a major problem in pine plantations, causing contamination and harvesting problems for the pine straw industry. Old World climbing fern infests cypress swamps and other hydric sites, forming a monoculture. This massive infestation displaces all native flora and fauna, completely changing the ecosystem of the area.'
One nasty plant. Hard to get rid of.
Wherendo you live? Does the plant change with seasons? Can you take a pic of the underside of leaves and of a root? Without more information its near impossible to tell. Give me that and I can identify your plant.
