Hi guys! I thought I knew what this plant was, but not so sure now! Can someone help me out? And maybe why the leaves are yellowing like that? It’s in a super chunky soil mix \& well draining pot it shouldn’t be getting too much water!

sorry im late, this looks like a dumb cane (that’s what it’s called im not slandering your plant haha)! hope this helps. I’m not sure how to care for it though so you might wanna post in the pest/diseases forum and see if anyone can help there. Goodluck!

Sooooo I’ve kind of figured it out 😊 it’s a Schismatoglottis! I had it in too big of a pot I think it enjoys a small pot and I gave it even more drainage and when it wants to be watered it looks dead 🤣 and it likes lots of indirect sunlight! I think for now lol! It’s been an interesting one but very pretty!

Great that you found out what it was! Hopefully it doesn’t cause any problems/issues. Goodluck!
