Looks like spider mite damage, don't recognize the plant, sry.

Possibly Fatshedera lizei. And I agree about the spider mites.

Cnidoscolus chayamansa? (there are several leaf forms)

If so it must be outside in the sun. I agree it's got mites.
Potting soil and dirt mixed is usually a recipe for disaster.

Thanks everyone! I love this page!
Can you please explain to me why mixing potting soil with dirt a bad idea? its all I've been doing in my garden and I dont want to keep doing it if its gonna affect my plants in such a negative way. I mix dirt with soil because I cant afford to use regular soil so I use what I have in my backyard, which is just dirt, are there any other alternatives? if not, then.. What type of soil do I need to buy to maintain vegetables and flowers healthy? which is what i have the most

If you grow in containers (pots) you need potting soil, period. It is essentially a soil-less mix of peat or coir, bark and some sort of drainage enhancement like perlite or pumice.

Growing plants in a container is very different from growing them in the ground. It is essentially a closed system and the grower - you - needs to supply all the input of nutrients, water and sunlight. And because it is a closed system, drainage is critical. Potting soil has been formulated to have very good drainage - garden soil does not. Second to drainage is aeration. Potting soil typically offers a range of textures and therefore adequate pore space to provide aeration. Garden soil tends to be dense and very uniform in particle size so aeration is often miniscule at best.

Garden soil - "dirt" - stays outdoors in the garden. You can enhance ordinary garden soil by adding compost or other organic matter or with various other amendments but often nothing else is required. Potting soil can be used for any container purpose - houseplants, seasonal color spots, hanging baskets, vegetables, or more permanent planter box or container plantings of trees and shrubs.

Agreed. The reason soil is not good in a container is because of the tiny particles. In a pot, something more chunky, airy is better to reduce the risk of rotting roots. When tiny particles are in a pot, they fill all of the tiny spaces, eliminating the air in the pot. When roots have only moisture but no oxygen, rot usually occurs. Roots need oxygen and moisture at the same time to function.

thanks you so much guys!! you guys are pro!! wow!!
i will for sure buy potting soil from now on for my potted plants:)
