Idk the name but it needs probably double (if not more) the roots for it to flourish in dirt :)

Does thai have white verigatation or just creamy yellow

#### mariana replied on 2025-08-13

I’ve only seen creamy yellow for Thai

### Plantsmybeloved commented on 2025-08-13

I'd guess a thai with the speckled varigation

#### Kristen replied on 2025-08-13

That's been my trouble trying to figure out what it is.

### Lisa Anglim commented on 2025-08-14

My guess is a thai con. An albo would be more stark white.

### Maryann commented on 2025-08-14

I would put it in a well draining soft mix with root powder

### LittleMorningLatte commented on 2025-08-16

That's a thai, looks really similar to mine, and as for the roots, id wait at least a few weeks to make sure it has good healthy roots, but that's just me. Happy propigating!

I got confirmation from the person who gifted it to me and she said Spotsylvania which i looked up and it's just another name for Thai! So good guessing everybody! I went on vacation and came back to way more roots! So excited. I'm gonna let it stay in there for a bit longer and see if it gets even more.
