| Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? I got it at a wedding and it was just a tiny thing with 2 small leaves and it was in a dixi cup. They were the gifts for the guests(cute idea!) and the paper just said to plant the whole thing, but i took it out of the cup. Anyways, i have had it for probably 6 months now and it was doing really well but now it is curling a bunch. They said it was a friendship plant, but when i googled that, i didnt get pictures of plants that look like this, they looked different. So i was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of plant it is or could help me with whats wrong with it and how to make it better. I live in illinois, i have it by a window. I water it sometimes, maybe once a week or so. Its green and sprouts 2 leaves at a time from the top. The leaves are kind of jagged on the sides. I think that was all that you asked of the description, but i dont know what the kinds of plants are so i dont know what it is, i just know that it is a house plant that i get from a friend that lived in illinois too. She says its suppose to get things on the leaves so that i can replant it. If you have any other questions about it, just ask and i will answer them if i can. Thanks for any help! I really appreciate it!! |

| It may be a Kalanchoe. Look at images of Kalanchoe daigremontiana. |

| double pane insulated window??? cold at night.. might be making a natural curl.. worse ... regardless.. that is some great lush vigorous growth.. so it cant be getting too cold at night ... let me put it this way.. if there was anything wrong.. it wouldnt be growing that vigorously ... eh?? if it is sprouting roots in mid air... i will guess you could cut the above off.. root it.. give it to a friend [hence the name] .. and yours will rebud below the cut.. anyone want to confirm or destroy that guess??? ken |

| If it's Mother of Thousands, you could cut the TIP off a leaf and it will root... quickly. If it's that, or even any other Kalanchoe, they don't like to be waterlogged. In fact, I never water mine that are outside in clay pots. (Never.) Try less water? And as much sunlight as you can give them. Worth a try. *shrug* |
