Mother in law says it’s a “wandering dude” prop that she gave me but my app is saying “Purple Heart”


What yall thinking? The roots on the one also look pretty rotten to me, wondering if I should just chop them off and restart the rooting process

    They’re the same thing. I call all of mine Lebowski.

    Edit: If you stick the bottom of it into some rooting hormone powder and put it into a bottle with some water in it, it will root with a quickness. They’re incredibly easy to prop.

    Aw your MIL must be in her 30s or 40s, that’s a phrase we started using after the original common name became offensive

    Those roots aren’t rotten they’re perfect for planting! but put them in water for a few days, they’ll have dried out a bit while you transported them.

    My app said my burle marx philodendron was an arrowhead. The apps arent 100% accurate.
