I usually name my plants something similar to the name they have, or I just try calling them names and see what fits 😂 #### Pamela님이 2024-05-27에 답변했습니다. I was thinking Grandma and Grandpa for two of mine since I’ve had them about 20 years. But some I was thinking Pothos1, Pothos2, etc. and felt bad 😂 ### Carter 🪴🎐☕️님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hi there! I love your plant wall/shelf it is so nice Some of my plants’ names are similar to the plant’s name like animals\&plants said, but some of them are based on characteristics of each plant or other interests I have (if you scroll through my profile you’ll probably see what i mean). Happy plant naming 🥳🌱 #### Pamela님이 2024-05-27에 답변했습니다. Thank you! And I’m about to stalk you lol … I need ideas! ### Krista님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. So far I only have one with an actual name, which is my arrowhead confetti, which I named Apollo. Instead, I have been using the plant name part to give the actual names if Planta doesn’t have them and I have to pick a similar plant (like adding variegated to a lot of them that Planta doesn’t have the variegated version), or for adding advanced characteristics, like revert, sport, aurea, etc (see photo). Oh, also, for hybrid names, like Pinguicula emarginata x moctezuma ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/deXorcq2VXXtP14-BlwhBmSvAoGn-GONFDP3hPuOhak/9TBrmC_cQXqjBTQuOerbaQ.webp?size=large) ### Liz님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have a spider (Gwen) plant that I decided to propagate now I have spidey bby 1, 2 and 3 lol #### Pamela님이 2024-05-27에 답변했습니다. I have propagated my Pothos many times over the years, so I have several generations! Crazy! I just got my first spider plant so fingers crossed with it! #### Liz님이 2024-05-27에 답변했습니다. Nice I have my pothos it’s growing like crazy might need to propagate soon. I just remember I named the mother Gwen and the rest have spider verse names (Peter, miles) ### ZWolfhiem님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. I name mine from foods lol I have 3 pothos and 2 philos The pothos: Mochi (Manjula) Blueberry (Baltic Blue) Sprite (neon) The philos: Carmel (Brazil) Chocolate (heartleaf) ### V.curios님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have about 130 plants, so when I look at them in list format I like to see them grouped mostly to genus, so I’ll do what I think is scientific name = genus + species. I still have more to learn about botanical taxonomy though. So a pothos njoy would be: Epipremnum aureum 'n'joy' But I’m not consistent across all plant types in doing that. Like for ferns I put fern at the front like “Fern crocydyllus”. Basically in an effort to keep to a grouping. I’m guessing this naming structure is pretty common though: Pothos neon Pothos golden Pothos marble queen Pothos global green Etc. #### Pamela님이 2024-05-27에 답변했습니다. I like that idea! And 130, holy cow! Once I get more organized and app figured out, I’ll get more plants. ### Lisa\_starch\_bishop님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. Like others have said I stick close to their given name but tweak it a bit. For example, marble queen pothos is Warble, white wizard philodendron is Merlin etc. But I am loving the suggestions you’re getting! ### Meowmy님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have named one 'please grow' lol #### Pamela님이 2024-05-27에 답변했습니다. Hahaha ### k님이 2024-05-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. I give mine actual names lol. Sometimes they’re similar to their original; like using the first letter, sometimes it’s after a characteristic. I just have fun with it! Feel free to check mine out 🤗 ### RamPaigeSage님이 2024-05-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. Just depends sometimes I think of names right away and sometimes it takes forever. I’ve had my asparagus fern for close to 2 years now and JUST named her. (Weekend at Fernny’s) But I named my Ring of Fire (Mordor) the day I brought it home. Sometimes they come quickly and others take time!
