A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum New Plant. What is it?

I just re-potted this today. They are brand new little clippings, but I don't know what the name of them are. Can anyone identify it?

My guess would be impatiens

Impatiens

I believe that is the very one. Thank you so much. Now I know the name to all my plants. Ü

My pleasure

I see the similarity to impatiens but their formation and waxy shine remind me more of the houseplant, "Umbrella Plant." Impatiens do not do well indoors and are better off in beds than in pots, no? But umbrellas are indoor and perhaps also outdoor plants with enough warmth and shade, and like to be potted. Any others have a different experience?

It sure looks similar to an impatient to me too???
does it bloom, chatty?

I have Umbrella Plants and it is not one of them,
It does look like what Hadeda said impatines

It grows little pink flowers that have like a thin angly off them The main stems look kind of "succulent". The picture is shinier than it really is. It doesn't look exactly like the pictured one, but very similar. I know there are a couple hundred varieties to impatiens. My aunt calls them "patients", so there is a pretty good chance they are impatiens.

I believe it is an impatiens also.

Definitely not an umbrella plant.

So there you go!
whatever it is, you are taking good care of it. it looks very healthy! does it really matter what the name of it is, if it is growing lush?
(note: 6 two letter words in one sentence all mushed together).........six years of college wasted! ha ha.)

I agree, but I do so like to know what the real name for them is.
All my plants already have nicknames.....
Like my frog plant. It's really a croton, but that nickname has just stuck.

I had one for 25 years--it did not survive the move----and i agree with Betty boop.

new guinea impatiens....
