Plant Pictures!

SPRING IS HERE!!! I'm so happy! I finally feel alive again, and I can tell my plants do to! My banana endured another child falling on it a few weeks ago with only one ripped leaf and its already sprouted another one! I borrowed my sister and her camera and got some pictures of my actual plants! Here's the banana:




Its still just a baby :) It is doing really well though, no signs of spider mites yet. My hibiscus braid is another story. It just put out a ton of blossoms and now the leaves are starting to yellow. I put a bunch of systemic in it but I think the real reason is I keep popping my grapefruit seeds into the soil and they might be choking it off! Here's a pic of that one:


I have no idea what kind of plant is in front of it. I bought it about 2 years ago and it never really grew and then I gave it some extra light and it went nuts! Probably also has mites. Hard to tell. I haven't seen any webs but my leaves are yellowing here and there. I think they all need a good fresh pot of dirt! Next to the unknown plant is another unknown plant! I started that one as a 3 inch slip and it exploded! It roots super easy in water and is gorgeous with a purple underside. It seems impervious to the mites for some reason. I also have a bromeliad that was an offshoot of one I had several years ago that is slow growing but healthy.
