I got this little guy recently and am not sure what it’s called. The Planta scanner isn’t showing me the right plant identification. Any idea what it’s called?

Hi all! I recently got this porterweed plant but I was wondering what type of porterweed this was. It was really droopy and sad when I first got it so it is still recovering
Got this as a gift a few months ago and it’s growing well but I have no idea what it is aside from a philodendron. Google Lens keeps giving me different answers depending on the angle of the photo… closest I’ve come is determining it to be a Burle Marx but I don’t know if that’s it for sure.
I have had these three succulent-like plants on my windowsill for a while now but I cannot for the life of me find anything online that resembles any of them… if someone could identify them for me I’d be very grateful but if not I may just have to make an educated guess 😅 Thanks x
Hi! I was recently given this new cutting (no roots) by family who told me to put it in soil and keep it in the shade. But they didnt know what it was called. Any ideas?
Any ideas on what type of plant this is? I think it’s a Hoya and I’ve tried to look for its exact type but the closest I could find is variegated Hoya and it looks close but not exact. I found it at a small plant shop with no labels on the plants for some reason, and there was a ton of other Hoyas next to it which were all different varieties.
Halp. I THINK this is a crassula, but what exactly is its name? And the stems don’t look much like ones I’ve seen so I’m so confused.
Can someone help me with identifying these Alocasia??
Anybody know what this is? It is in a mixed planter I got at Home Depot. It is with Boston fern, begonia, and polka dot plant. No idea what this one is. I want to repot what I can and bring them inside
I just received a plant that I thought I would take a chance on. It's called a kangaroo paw fern. When I pulled it out of the box, all the leaves tumbled along with it. It's huge! I always buy tiny plants and learn from them. Gonna go find out what soil, watering, etc is best. Fingers crossed!
Ok so I have this arrowhead but I’m not sure if it’s a white butterfly, this is the newest leaf to develop and it has the most striking difference to the rest of the leaves but it’s resembling a white butterfly so if anybody else has one could you please show me pics of some of the leaves?
I got this at a box store and it didn’t have what plant it is. And when I try to scan the plant it doesn’t help? Is this a philodendron? Which one is it?
Just picked this up at Trader Joe’s but there was no id for it- any thoughts?
Can someone tell me what she is?
Hi there! What is this plant? I just received it as a gift.
Hi! Can anyone help me ID this plant? My best guess is a philodendron ‘brasil’ but I am so new to plants that I can’t be positive.
Does anyone know wht this is? Planta says elephant bush but doesn’t quite look like tht. The pot says succulent
What kind of succulent is this? It’s usually meant to be all green, it’s just a little dehydrated right now.
Hey, I recently got this plant and the tag didn’t say what kind it was. Does anyone recognise it?
Hello group, how does one add a plant to the app if it doesn’t exist on it? I have 2 beauties I cannot locate via scanning the plant or typing the name in. Thank you!
