# Please tell me if these are correct as these are what I was told at…

_Publié par Christine le 2024-09-23_

Please tell me if these are correct as these are what I was told at the nursery…  
The octopus is A String of Tears  
The pale, green, small leaf is a string of turtles.  
The green and red one is a Christmas cactus and the last one she was unsure.  
I have looked them up on the app, but I wanna make sure that it’s right so I know how to take care of them.  
I, myself thought the pale, green, small leaf one was a Creeping Jenny-no?  
The app is telling me that the octopus one is a string of watermelons. Is that correct? I’ve never heard of that.

The last one with the waxy leaves, I think looks like a lipstick plant. But I’m pretty new to this too, so could be very wrong!

#### eatyacarbs ha respondido el 2024-09-24

it could be some variety of lipstick plant — the leaf spacing is a bit wider than the variety i have. this could be some kind of hoya?

The third is an orchid cactus. Definitely not a Christmas cactus in my opinion.

The light green one is definitely string of turtles - this one gets overwatered easily so be careful!

### max a commenté le 2024-09-24

i don’t think any of these are a Creeping Jenny, i have one of those and it doesn’t look like any of the ones here

The third is an Easter cactus, not Christmas or orchid

#### eatyacarbs ha respondido el 2024-09-24

agree with this! the smoothness of the leaves says easter and she’s looking thirsty

### eatyacarbs a commenté le 2024-09-24

definitely string of turtles and it looks like some other little stowaway in there too

### Christine a commenté le 2024-09-24

The green and red plant comes up in the app as a Queen of the Night. Could this be right?
