# Hello lovelies! Looking for assistance in identifying two types of…

_Posted by shalynbri on 2024-03-24_

Hello lovelies!

Looking for assistance in identifying two types of plants I got today. The lady told me but I didn’t write them down… I don’t think the app is ID-ing them correctly.

I believe she said the first one is some kind of calathea and the second one some type of ficus but it doesn’t look like the other ficus I have…

Thanks so much for your help, I appreciate it!
