    I have grown the plants from my sisters funeral plants that came in a tabletop dish garden.
    One of the plants has turned into a tree about 4 ft tall. but I cannot find a web site that I can ID it. I also saved what looks like bamboo (but I don't think it is bamboo) it is quite prolific. It also had a spikey looking grass. It is a typical dish garden arrangement the arrow looking plant is so prolic I have to keep cutting it back.
    I would like to ID the various plants.
    Thanks

    I moved your post to the Plant ID forum ;)

    When you post the photos of the plants be sure to finalize the process by clicking on the photo, otherwise the photo does not get inserted.

    I don't have a way of posting pictures at this time. That is why I was hoping I could find a site that would have some pics of traditionally used plants(not flowering plants) that florists use when they put together a typical dish garden that gets sent for new babies ,funerals and birthdays.

    Wish I had a camera to do it.
    and my cell phone is a dinosaur. No texts no photos.

    Typically they put things together such as pothos, palms, peace lily,croton, prayer plant, cordyline, diffenbachia, false aralia, dracena species, cornplant dracena, ficus, aluminum plant, ferns and I am sure there are more, but these are some very common ones that were used when I worked in the flower shop and greenhouse. I hope this helps identify them for you.

    You are welcome. The palm one you are describing, is it what is grassy looking or is there a grass type plant in the planter? The bambooish looking one may be a dracena or a parlor palm. The arrow plant? is that a vining plant or an up right? Upright may be an aglonema or a peace lily. if it is vining maybe a syngonium podophyllum or same family.
