Plant identification help!

I do not think Greg is correct with the identification of this plant. Can someone help please? #WhatPlantIsThis #identify #PlantAddict #Propagation

Wow, there's a bunch more comments that appeared! Glad you figured it out 😁

I found it! After a silly amount of searching, I knew it wasn't in the inch plant family, I've seen it before, with the unique flower stalk! It's called Tahitian bridal veil! https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/gibasis-pellucida/
Following. I've always wondered. The city I live in has it planted every where
@planthoe40 that’s interesting!! I wasn’t aware it was an outside plant. I got this in a mystery propagation box a few months ago and since it’s thriving figured I’d add it to Greg. So interested as to what it is!!
@iAmErica I just realized I sounded ridiculous as most plants can be outside plants… I’m sure you can tell I’m a midwestern girl, nothing survives outside all year πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ
@iAmErica you can download nature id on the play store. I think you get three identifications for free.
@planthoe40 thank you so much!! It’s $6.99/wk with 3 days free so I gotta go back and cancel real quick so I don’t forget. But it identified my plant as a Tahitian bridal veil. Definitely looks right!! Thanks bunches :)
@iAmErica your welcome.
I haven’t had one of those but I definitely like the looks of it. But there isn’t any plant I don’t like really. So far there’s only one type of mamillaria I avoid because I had two rot in a row. The second one took much longer to rot. Seems like all I had to do was talk about water in its presence and it would rot hearing the word water πŸ’¦. Lol. I’m sure this plant won’t have that problem at all.
You can also use PictureThis. It has a paid version but it’ll let you id free.
@spazicorn thank you so much for taking your time and figuring this out!! Much appreciated 😊
@SirLiquorice LOL that’s so frustrating!! I have that issue with the money tree… on my second one, it was braided like usual with the 5 trunks… I am down to one trunk but it is thriving lol, oh well! Not too many plants that I don’t like either, but I sure do like this little guy!
@iAmErica as long as one trunk is surviving that’s considered a win to me. It will recover over time. One day it will probably look better than it ever has. Especially years from now. And google lens usually works pretty good for a free way to identify plants. Doesn’t always work but most of the time it’s close enough
It’s pretty😍
@iAmErica πŸ’― correct.
@SirLiquorice lol well thanks!! The one trunk is looking really good and has a bunch of new healthy leaves. So that’s pretty exciting. Just hoping he stays that way. :) And good to know, didn’t know that! Thank you.
@KikiGoldblatt it was coming up as inch plant at first, which I was like no that’s definitely not right lol. What app did you use for that? :)
@iAmErica I use LeafSnap.
@KikiGoldblatt I’ll have to look that up! Thanks!
@iAmErica it’s an amazing app. I use it all the time.
