Anyone else just spend so much time and resources to just ID plants like I feel like I can never rest that all my plants are incorrect ID 😭. Really wish it was more common including scientific name on plants especially from stores.

Yeah! Most of the time it’s “foliage plant” or “succulent” with a bar code and no other info and it’s so frustrating

Ahh I know… and don’t forget the helpful “assorted foliage” \& “home decor” 🙃

Literally what I have that is a misnomer is an air-plant and jungle cactus

#### MamaJuju replied on 2023-07-10

HA! That is ridiculous and hilarious 😂

Agreed like why would you not say what it is like there’s 60+ lookalikes 😭😭😭
