New plants purchased today/a few days ago from the Fancy Free Nursery in Tampa! Loved that store, and so happy they survived the flight in my carry on (not pictured: philo micans)

I like the big plant that looks like hair. What’s the name of that one?

#### gabbygeli replied on 2025-03-23

Ponytail palm!

#### Michelle’s Hobby replied on 2025-03-24

Thanks I’m going to try to find one. They’re cool looking.

### KJM commented on 2025-03-24

Is that a black velvet alocasia?

#### gabbygeli replied on 2025-03-24

Yes!

I had one of those but it died I was quite sad about it. Hopefully you'll have better luck with yours.

#### gabbygeli replied on 2025-03-24

I’m sorry to hear that! It’s my first one. I’ve heard they’re pretty finicky so…fingers crossed! 😅

I just purchased several plants when I was visiting my parents in Tampa last week! Luckily, I only live 3 hours away by car, so I drove them home. Glad yours survived the flight!

#### gabbygeli replied on 2025-03-25

I was definitely nervous! Thank you! Congrats on your new plants :)

if that last one is an elephant bush they're very hardy. I went through a period of depression where I didn't water my plants for 4 months and that was one of two that survived. it's one of those plants you can forget about and it'll keep growing.

Yep is an elephant bush, I’ve heard they’re very hardy!
