Just picked this one up at ALDI foods for only $7.99. Actually I bought 6 different plants. What can I say, I've got spring fever and they have some nice looking 10" plants.
All the tag says is "Tropical plant". (thats a tremendous help)
Anyone know what it is?
Please help name that plant
Oooh..you have Aldi's there, too?
I got a nice Ti there last weekend.
Yours is a Ctenanthe.
Yep ... I have a very large one - its called 'Ctenanthe' and here's the link for it in Plant Files:

Nice plant !!
Thanks soo much, that was fast!
I also bought a Ti and a couple of dracaena's, a weeping fig and a philo selloum.
Love those leaves.Hope she does well for you : )
Woah Lin,That is huge! So Lovely.Wish they could grow here.
Dodgedame: They get very large as you can see .... a lot of folks have them in the ground here in Florida, but I've kept mine in a pot in my pool area .... they require a LOT of water! This is one plant I don't think I can ever overwater!
lol, dodgedame...there was another Ti I really *wanted* to buy...but the old budget could only be stretched a li'l bit;)
Nice, Lin!!
Hey, folks...this one actually does pretty well indoors.
It's really not as 'fussy' as the others.
Hey Cedar: You could grow it as a houseplant! A couple of weeks ago, I took a cutting and stuck it in a jar of water just to see if it would root! Yep .... a root coming out of either side of the node below where I cut it. Will have to see how it does once it's potted up .... I'm going to take some more to root - will have some to trade if works!
Love that plant dodgedame!
Nan if its not too fussy It might just be ok for me.LOL
Well Lin,Sure enough,it rooted good for you.Looks nice.Well if it does good for you I might just have to see what I can come up to tempt you with for a cutting come spring..: )
I'm definately gonna root some more cuttings, so I will have plenty for y'all to try! Just remind me in another month.
edited to say: I'm going out right now and take some more cuttings!

That's the *other* one I wanted!!
Very nice...lucky you;)
Beautiful plants ! Happy growing !
All Gorgeous dadgedame.Your patio room sounds wonderful! Ahhhh : )
I love to take a Ti and use in a giant pot in the center surrounded by other plants...the foliage is soooooo pretty as is the variegated foliage one....can't spell it....
LOVE that Ti plant! I had a very large Ti years ago, but after a few years it began to decline quickly and finally died. I haven't tried one again. That is a really nice specimen!
I have a large Dracaena marginata (Dragon Tree) that looks pretty awful right now. It got squashed when we covered it a few weeks ago when it was cold one night. The heavy blanket my hubby put on it really mashed it down. This picture shows how bad it looks ... It needs to be re-potted and I also need to prune it back. I will root the tops when I cut them off next month!
