It’s an ID Post! You Can Guess Along Too!
Hi Cactus Jungle:
Can you identify this plant? It is a cutting taken directly from a small tree-like woody trunk about 1-foot tall. It was up-right, no droop or dangle.Leaves (?) very thin and stiff. Also please let me know if I can start plant from this piece.
Thanks much,
Rosa
Do you have your guess ready for Rosa?
Check it out after the break…

That looks to me like Homalocladium platycladum, also known as the Ribbon Plant or Tapeworm Plant. They should be able to grow from cuttings.

I was totally going to guess that (a week and a half late to the party, though). Just saw a HUGE tapeworm bush yesterday at the US Botanic Garden here in Washington, DC.
By the way, the plants I got from you are doing quite well here in the sweltering DC swamp!
