As you can imagine, each of those plants' common names are used interchangeably, which is why it's important to also know the botanical name if you are referring to a specific plant.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-72515818661234806802015-04-23T03:07:21.979-04:002015-04-23T03:07:21.979-04:00Dieffenbachia is different than a Mother in Law Pl...Dieffenbachia is different than a Mother in Law Plant, or Snake Plant.

Will have to investigate that one.<br />The only other comment I have is that I would have switched the Philodendron with a Pothos. I find Philodendron's to be so sensitive to chlorine and fluoridation in todays water supplies.<br />And as always, your photos are excellent.

I can only imagine what that must be like.

The reason I say that is <i>because</i> I'm not the best fern grower and I can grow this one! Give it a try! I can't even keep Boston ferns growing inside.

I'm tempted to try a kangaroo fern but am notoriously bad at keeping ferns (except Boston ones) alive in the house. And Dieffenbachia is hopeless in my hands but that's my failing, not the plant's :) Great list - lots of exotic-looking things that fool our friends into thinking we're botanical wizzes!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589473046882217457noreply@blogger.com
