| Mystery Plant |
I add compost from our kitchen vegetable/fruit scraps to some of my
potted houseplants. This glossy-leaved plant started growing from the
compost-rich potting mix in the last month. I am not sure what it is. I
did have some citrus trees growing there ealier and tried to repot
them, but wasn't successful. Does anyone know what this plant is? It
has to be growing from the remains of something we ate this year!
It has been fairly cold for the past few weeks, and though we have some
bright sun today, it still is -26 C out there. Everything is sparkling
today! Inside, we're still working on the leftovers from the Christmas feast. I hope everyone out there is keeping warm!

Hi Lisa
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Looks like a Mandarin but seems a little stretched. I have a little forest of them under lights and they are more dense. Looks like a new start so good to wait and see.

It looks like an avocado to me! I finally successfully started a few, and yours quite resembles the smaller of my plants.
Aha! It most certainly could be an avocado - we've eaten alot of them! I was thinking about digging down and seeing what it was attached to, but didn't do that for fear of killing it.
See down on this link.

Do you have trouble with Wooly Aphids. We have them on Orchids and my Mandarins. Bah. I am looking for a systemic even though they are not good but we are not going to eat any of these plant parts so I would rather kill the bugs than the plants.

I'm not sure of the plant ID, but its tenacious start in the plant pot made me smile.
Have a terrific 2013.
Yes, it´s an avocado!! Happy new year!
Yes, It looks like an Avacado. Congratulations on a successful germination!!!
I'm certainly no expert (just a master gardener - no degree), but it looks to me like it is a citrus of some type.
One way you can tell for sure (if you're willing to sacrifice it) crush a leaf (or piece of a leaf) between your fingers and smell it. If it is a citrus plant (lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, etc.), you'll know from the scent.
Nice post. I always share this post. A house-based mostly hydroponics garden can develop greens 12 months round. The priority about
pests and the composition of the soil usually are not a difficulty with such a gardening.
Another bonus with such a gardening is how briskly you possibly can have mature vegetables
indoors (by growing the amount of rising medium).If you need more info,Please visit this link
