| I picked up this plant from walmart on clearance and can't seem to find an ID. Main reason I am asking is I can't seem to make it happy. It had a few damaged leaves when I got it but its gotten worse. Its tried to send out some new leaves but they fell off for some reason. So an ID would be helpful, then I might be able to figure out why its so unhappy.
Thanks! http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/Mikaila31/P1240920.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/Mikaila31/P1240919.jpg |

| Is there a stem, or are the leaves all coming from the soil? |

| Its a stem. I've taken some better pictures. Its leaves are paired on the stem. The leaves are a tiny bit thicker then the leaves on my pothos, but they are more flexible. Other then that its a very basic looking plant. I've had it for over a month and the entire time its leaves have been slowly shriveling up. I've tried more water, less water, more light and less light but I can't seem to make it happy. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/Mikaila31/P1240985.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/Mikaila31/P1240987.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b313/Mikaila31/P1240990.jpg |

| I'm still not certain, but Google (Hoya carnosa) pictures. What size is your plant? Height, and pot size. |

| Hi- I'm thinking it's an Ardisia--coral berry. I have this plant and it's doing well. I think the key with this plant is to NEVER let it dry out! Mine did and I thought it was a gonner. After it dried out it shed leaves and was basically just stems. I almost threw it out but just left it alone all summer-out doors. It looks amazing now. If I can post pictures I will. The plant is currently in low and I do mean LOW light. Seems to be ok. I think it's just having a fit, that's all. I hope this helps. Nice plant. Kyle |
