I bought this plant from Home Depot about three months ago and do not remember what the label said it was. When I first bought the plant, it was leafy with purple flowers and I planted in my backyard a few days after purchase. Now that it’s been growing for a few months in the ground, the purple flowers fell off and have been replaced with ones that are very tiny and the leaves have turned to sort of like soft but stiff…ish spines. Honestly, the plant looks nothing like it did when I bought it and I’m wondering if someone with more experience with plants can help me identify it. To help identify it, I’ve checked Google Lens, the Planty and Planta apps, and a Google image search but there are too many results for me to truly know what this is. I’ve included two photos 1) when I planted it a few days after purchase and 2) the plant a few months later. I hope someone can help identify it so I know how to take care of it. I thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi! Plant beginner here; working to learn more every day 😊 Can someone help me ID this plant? Is this oregano? Previous owners planted it and it’s seems to grow and spread every day. I would like to transplant it into a container if it in fact is edible oregano but want to make sure I am not ingesting something that isn’t meant to be ingested 😆
Me again…🫣 🌿So i have this plant from costco and she was kinda dormant over winter and i’ve had her for about and year and these past weeks i’ve been hesitant to change the water she’s in because she’s popping of leaves almost every day it’s crazy!! But I just wanted opinions on what you think i should do, change the water,leave it alone and let it do its thing, or repot it into dirt. The roots on the other hand look a bit messed up with root rot but like i said she doing well with leaves to i can’t decide what to do And in a side note Im not sure what type of plant it is

Hi y’all, could anyone tell me what this little guy is?
Does anyone know what kind of philodendron she is? Label didn’t tell me the variety
Does anyone have any idea what this is. Randomly found this plant outside but I’m almost positive it doesn’t belong. The stem is hard and sturdy like a tree stem. It’s always been this neon yellow color seems to like wet soil and good sun.
Does anyone know what plant this is? I’ve had it for about a year and half now. The sticker only says the price and name of the store. My unprofessional eye is thinking aloe? Of some sort? It’s been chewed on which is another reason I want to know what it is Incase it’s toxic to my cat. It’s resilient, a year ago I put it in a window and forgot about it. I thought it was dead since it was pretty much brown and crunchy but watered it as a last ditch effort and it bounced back, if that helps identify it

Hello this is not my plant I’m asking for a friend. She took on the plant after her loved one passed so it was not her plant either. Can someone help me identify this plant? From the research I’ve done and with the google image search I believe it may be a lily of the Nile. What do you guys think?

I recently received this alocasia of some sort from a friend who was killing it. I just have no idea what kind it is. And I’m not exactly sure how to care for it. I have tons of plants and am experienced, this is my first alocasia of any kind so I’m a little nervous about it lol.
