ID: They are a Hoya Tri Color, Monstera Deliciosa, and Pothos (I think?)

I haven’t named any of mine but its a trauma response for me not to get too attached to anything 😅

I used to name my plants, but once I got into the dozens I couldn’t keep up. Some still have their names though. Vega was my first and she’s still alive. Went throb a little rough patch but I’ve got her lighting figured out and we’re coming back.

I started naming them, until my collection got too big.
The one that still has a name is an albo Monstera which I named: Jessica Albo.

All my monsteras are named with names starting with M. And my rare plants get named too. The 40+ other plants will probably not get names.

I try to. Once there are too many I give up.

Anymore, I invent a short hand version of their true name – just so I can remember the fancy shmancy botanical title for them.

I let my plants name themselves. My cats too.

I had 3 corn plants in the same pot. I named them Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. All three died quickly from root rot. I’ve never named another plant (and also haven’t killed any others, yet).

Yep🪴 I call them all by their first name 💚

I have a succulent I’ve named “Frank” and his babies are the “Franklettes”

I have one plant with a name. My husband wanted a yucca palm when I started my collection and his name is George .
He just got a new pot for his two year birthday( with us) and he is happy as a clam.
The rest I use the taxonomic names for. Makes me feel like my biology degree wasn’t useless
