Lin, I can't figure out why I am so fat (LOL) as I told my sister in law that I work so hard on my plants. You were talking about dead leaves, etc. I have been doing that all week long in between planting up avs, etc.

I agree that the right is chirita tamiana and the left could be any number of plants. I am going to post just a few and let Eunice guess.

I do know that I always have to keep taking off the bottom leaves and planting deeper to get a strong plant. Plus , I seem to think they do better when they have a lot of perlite on the bottom and not much soil??????????

This is Smithiana 'Texas Freckles'. I just potted her up again for the 3rd time as she gets so leggy.
