What are these 3 plants? The last one was spreading on the floor and looked like it might be a weed.

  1. Arceuthobium

    First looks like a Coleus cultivar; second is a fern, probably a Nephrolepis; third is Tribulus terrestris.

    The third is definitely a weed. Goat heads are terrible. I have to pull and chop about a zillion of them tomorrow out of my yard.

  3. Get rid of the last immediately! Very gently uproot the plant, gingerly disentangle any runners from cracks/crevices/other plants, and carry the entire plant to the nearest dumpster. It’s got little 6 horned seed pods that break into three parts and are the spawn of Satan. If any of the goat heads (hell spawn) come loose, make sure to gather them up and dispose of them also.

  4. Agree with Coleus. They make a nice potted plant. The more sun it gets, the more pink/red/purple it gets. Less sun, green to pale green to yellow/white. I’ve never experienced an invasion of them. Moreover, I don’t consider them a weed as I’ve purchased them from big box stores and grocers, in many states and also in Europe. ❤

    Last one, Goat head. Terrible thing. You will never forget the feeling of stepping on one of the seed pods barefoot.

  6. Third one is an ingredient in gas station boner pills

    Hi, the 1st picture is a Multi color Coleus it’s an annual. They are really pretty. We grew these in a greenhouse where I used to work. They thrive in the shade. Ideal for low-light conditions. Thrives in a shaded garden or area outdoors. Easy to grow. Easy maintenance. Quick growth. Requires regular watering. Brings life to shaded areas with its vibrant colors. Remove any dead leaves it may have occasionally. From spring to mid-fall fertilize Coleus plants with water-soluble fertilizer such as Miracle-Gro or a generic brand like Miracle-Gro mix with water 1 tablespoon per 1 gallon of water. Water thoroughly before giving the fertilizer to prevent root burn. Do this every 2 to 4 weeks during the growing season. If grown in a container they will need more frequent watering and fertilizer. After late fall do not give Coleus fertilizer until the following spring if you live in a zone that doesn’t get extremely cold it will winter over for next year. Avoid over-fertilizing it can burn the foliage causing brown crispy edges. Fertilizer is crucial for vibrant colors and growth. Water and fertilize the base of Coleus don’t do either above the plant not on foliage. If you are in a colder Zone put Coleus in a flower pot and take it indoors sit it where it gets indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours per day this will overwinter it for the following year. Sorry for writing a book. I love plants and gardening I get carried away at times. If you don’t mind me asking what growing zone are you in? I am in zone 6A. Enjoy your beautiful easy-to-care-for Coleus.

    2nd picture is a beautiful fern. The 3rd last Pic is a weed. I would suggest getting rid of the weeds. Enjoy.
