LOL Cinta ... yep, nurseries mis-label plants too. We have many wholesale nurseries here in Florida and I was at one of our big-box stores last year and while looking at house plants, I found so many with wrong labels stuck in the pots ... not just a few but lots! As I was checking out I commented to the clerk about it and she asked me if I'd mind speaking to the lady from the nursery who was in the store at the time so I said sure. The nursery person asked me to show her what plants I'd found that were mis-labeled and I walked over to the houseplant/tropicals section and she was a bit stunned. She began pulling out all the plant stakes ... hoya plants had labels that said begonia, aglaonema had philodendron labels and on and on. She told me that she'd seen it before but not to such an extent and explained that many of the workers in the wholesale nursery did not speak english ... not a great excuse in my opinion. It's no wonder so many novice growers have trouble with their plants dying on them if they are going by the care on the label.
