| I bought this at a local nursery because I liked it. I have no idea what it is, and proper care. I asked what kind of plant it was (because it had no tag), and of course, they didn't know. I have it in a south facing window, and water about once a week. So far, its doing good. Thank you in advance. |

| It's Invisiblus absentitis. Light tolerance varies among the Invisiblus group of plants, but it likes very bright light. It prefers a soil that drains very freely and allows you to apply enough water at each watering so the soil is completely saturated and at least 15-20% of the total volume of water exits the drain hole; this, without you having to be concerned about the soil remaining soggy for an extended period and impeding root function or causing rot issues. A picture of the plant would be nice, but almost all plants respond very favorably to fertilizers that have NPK RATIOS (different than NPK %s - ask if you don't understand) that approximate 2:1:2 or 3:1:2. You might find the link I left to be valuable in that it can help you avoid almost all the common pitfalls associated with growing in containers. Al |

| Heythere, welcome to the forum. I'm guessing you browsed your computer to add the picture, then clicked preview, then edited your comments again, clicked preview again, before submitting. When you click preview, the picture info doesn't stay in the browse box, so it got lost. Hope you'll try again although the info above should be helpful no matter what kind of plant it is. "Invisiblus absentitis" Good one! |
