I got a couple new plants last night and of course they are all labeled "Tropical Plant".

This one reminds me of a spider plant but it doesn't look like exactly like the spider plant that I have.

It has a runner like a spider plant only it has a white flower on it instead of another plant. It also stands up instead of being a hanging plant.

I really appreciate your help. I have a few more plants that I need help identifying and will post them later today. If I am asking too many questions about the plants, please let me know and I will slow down.

I have two of those out in the shade garden, they were labeled Tropical Plant just like yours.

No, they aren't Spider plants but it will be interesting to see if we can get the IDed Wink

I think it is called chlorophytum bichetii or a Siam Lily.

Lena your plant has many common names such as Bichetii Grass, False Lily Turf, Wheat Plant, Dwarf/Variegated Spider Plant. Very Happy

I think I have one of those also and was noting the fact that it was trying to act like a spider plant. I'll wait to see if it puts on a white flower. If so... then I'm pretty sure it's the same as this one.
