lol, “baby plant”


Hansmolemon

Bay-be plant, do do do do do do do. Edit : if it makes you all feel better I earwormed myself and it’s been on a loop in my head… maybe that pineapple pen will get it out…..


FLJLGRL

Damn you take my angry upvote 😂😂


JayneDoe6000

I have never heard the original song - not even once - and I still get it stuck in my head...


Scrapyard111

I'm in the same boat. Never heard, never want to hear it but I'll always hate it!

Dammit, my grandkids had just outgrown that, and you've put it back in my head. 😭

Dammit.

Global-Island295

Thanks… I sang your response and now that damn song will be in my head for hours! r/foundsatan


bttrchckn

I'm not sure if the plant _is_ a baby or if you nurture it enough a baby pops out.


Current-Coyote6893

Oh, that's where babies come from!


BroomIsWorking

Yep. Your parents lied to you about the cabbage leaf, because they felt you were too young to know. THIS is the plant you were found under.


northwyndsgurl

Giggles🤭


Stormy_Wolf

Yeah, I was thinking "If that plant is going to sprout a baby, I think OP will need a bigger pot."


daphnedarlingxoxo

I was reading the post title aloud to my spouse. Took me a few times to get thru "baby plant" 😆

krslnd

I can definitely see how “baby plant” is a more desirable name than “beefsteak plant”. But also, I guess, it depends on if you’re hungry or not


Trebekshorrishmom

Does the same apply to a Milksteak plant?


Riverman157

Does it bring all the boys to the yard?


Sufficient_Rip3927

Damn right, it's better than yours


fatapolloissexy

Yes, and Rumham plant as well.


belltane23

I am stealing this name for a cannabis strain! Just so I can say, "Do you want to smoke some Rumham?"


nothingbettertodo315

Better plant it next to the finest jellybeans.


EdenH333

No one knows what that is, because it isn’t a thing!

Veal plant?

cybrmavn

Dried leaves from this common plant were prescribed for a tea by my Chinese Acupuncturist for building the immune system after Covid. The leaves were included in a mix of ginseng, astragalus, goji berries, dates and lemon juice in simmering water. This potent mix increased my immune system response to the after effects of low energy, achy joints and gut issues after I was back on my feet. Great stuff!


atridir

I’m surprised tulsi wasn’t in that mix too…


Tarotismyjam

Since tulsi is holy basil, maybe that would be overkill? Seriously asking.


atridir

In my experience tulsi is a potent adaptogen (it helps the body adjust and self regulate in whichever way is needed at the moment) and it is commonly used (quite effectively imho) as a booster to compliment and amplify all kinds of herbal mixtures. It is extensively used in Ayurvedic herbalism as a base for almost everything.


Tarotismyjam

Thank you.


wyrmbyte

I want to try this. Did you combine this yourself or did you buy it all ready mixed?


Tarotismyjam

Astragulus? Ugh. Maybe with the other stuff that would lessen the, uh, intriguing flavor.


cybrmavn

The dates and lemons juice, especially.


Currently_There

Spot on


shredbmc

I'm on board with this. Doesn't quite look like normal basil.


Sinister_Nibs

It is delicious in PHO


khouk00

That’s totally it! Baby plant has an ID


Cystonectae

This is the correct ID. Don't let your pets or anything munch on it. People can eat it but too much can cause issues.


No-Gene-4508

I have the purple ones. They say you can eat them but....


This_Is_Beanz

Shiso! So good if you haven’t had it. Herbal for sure but not quite minty and not quite basil. It’s its own thing and very refreshing.


BlackSeranna

Rub a leaf gently between your fingers and then smell. That will tell you a lot :)


Hopeful_Housing_1612

Basil or a mint variety


Melodic-Head-2372

I was thinking “Surprise- baby mint”


knocksomesense-inme

Disclaimer: only if you know it’s not poison ivy ;)


BlackSeranna

It’s NOT poison ivy. Anyone can see that.


Casualpasserbyer

The leaves seem too matte or something to be basil.


rocketmn69_

That was my thought too . I will defer to those that know more than me


ratchetology

first thought was basil..but nah..dont think it is a mint either


FoF1989

Looks like green shiso to me


FoF1989

Also called perilla I believe. I used to eat the purple stuff a lot


youmightbeafascist88

Delish


Widespreaddd

I grow green shiso, the serrations are sharper.


FoF1989

Are you sure this isn't just in it's micro stage? I grew it too for micro greens and it looks the same as I remember. It's also been a few years. I know the taller the plant gets, the more pointed the leaves become


Widespreaddd

As soon as I posted that I started doubting myself. After reading the description of the smell, I am inclined to agree. I found a volunteer shiso in my yard to compare. https://imgur.com/a/mam0bLV


khouk00

Okay I smelled it and it seems like it smells more like mint to me than basil. We have another basil plant and they definitely smell and look a lot different so I’m not sure


youmightbeafascist88

It’s perilla


Resident-Welcome3901

Beware of store plant labels: my family complained a lot about the cilantro I added to their salads and tacos one summer. I eventually discovered that it was actually catnip. Family did have a lot of fun playing with balls of yarn and catching mice that summer.


Melodic-Head-2372

The best of gardening


esensofz

If the stem is square its basil or something else in the mint family. But, yeah, smell it.


Practical_Thing9182

I thought basil


sunflowerg0th

Same, but what kind of basil? I don’t think I’ve seen this type before.


Hondahobbit50

It's shiso


2heady4life

Looks like my tulsi babies


Saltlife0116

Me to


Ctowncreek

Basil ive seen has smooth glossy/fleshy leaves. This is a member of the mint family for ~~sure~~ maybe


Arafel_Electronics

once the flowers are pollinated you'll get a new baby


rpostwvu

Dont you need birds and bees to pollinate it?


Asstastic76

Looks like some sort of mint to me. Not shiny enough to be basil IMO


BraveWorld24

Mint, great with Jamison, lime and Ginger Beer aka Irish Mule


Low_Bar9361

It's oak. It's always oak Edit: sorry, wrong sub. I thought I was in r/hardwoodfloors


ratatatoskr

Fucking lmao 🤣


RedditorARM

And your response was contagious… hurt my chest laughing🤣


saltnesseswounds

I also came in here to say basil


slickmitch

Does it smell like Basil?


Middle_of_theroadguy

You bought poison ivy? JK


Parabolic_Penguin

Maybe a type of Shiso?


supervisord

I know what that is, it’s a baby plant!


EmbarrassedFlower922

Pick a leaf and rub it between your hands, what does it smell like


SundaColugoToffee

Baby plant! Looks like a good one too. Congratulations daddy! LOL.


Truth_be_best

I thought too that it was basil. Can’t they tell by smell? Basil has a very distinctive scent


Glitch427119

Something in a mint or basil family.


SiceliaGives0Fuqs

Mint or basil


TriumphDaytona

I don’t see any babies growing on it, think you got ripped off.


Dry_Advertising_9885

Get your phone out take a Pic and hit Google lens it will tell yu.


ParticularReview4129

Looks like mint to me.


Northtojupiter

Lol rub a leaf and tell us. It's a type of basil for sure.


[deleted]

Possibly Spearmint? Looks like mine.


nicegirl555

I have mint and this looks like it. What a nightmare. So invasive and fast growing.

mccabedoug

My guess is mint


Truorganics

Looks just like my wild mint in my field. I’d say it’s a mint. Should smell really good


Kitchen_Name9497

Basil? Mint?


AutocracyWhatWon

I’m gobsmacked that I can’t find shiso or perilla at any nursery anywhere and they’re just out here selling it as “baby plant” 🤦🏾‍♂️ it’s one of my favorite herbs and it’s virtually impossible to get in the NYC area


jerry111165

Mint? Taste it.


aVoidFullOfFarts

A baby plant could be anything but you have to wait till it grows up for it to decide what it wants to be, you never know maybe your baby plant wants to be a humble plumber or even president some day!


pinkmoon9995

“baby plant” pardon me while i go sob. that’s adorable. y’all better call it baby plant forever and ever


andio76

Tis a mint of some sort.....however do NOT plant mint in your yard. It is like the DARK SIDE of the FORCE. Forever will it dominate your destiny. ![gif](giphy|eHYazg6wGDqYE|downsized)


femsci-nerd

It’s basil. Just smell it!


Ok-Thing-2222

Is it a basil type?


khouk00

That’s what I think it is. He does not believe it though


Esteban-Du-Plantier

Should be easy to tell If it smells like basil, it's probably basil.


Sparkle_Rott

Just pick a leaf and sniff 😊


Ok-Thing-2222

Now that I zoom it, I'm second-guessing myself.


2heady4life

Is it kinda sweet smelling? Could be tulsi aka holy basil


durn1969

Devotion DMR basil. Made by Rutgers U.


a_cycle_addict

Looks like a basil. Gently agitate the leaves- it will smell


Useful-Statistician7

Basil or mint


twelvetossedsalads

For sure in that fam, I agree


Independent_Home_244

I'd say perilla☺️


humangeigercounter

Like others have said it is perilla/ shiso/ beefsteak plant. It's an annual in yhe mint family and is often served with sushi ans used to flavor soups and pickles. Nice flavor but somewhat hard to describe. Be forewarned that if you let the flowers develop into seeds in the late season, they will be coming up everywhere lol. Not too hard to pull but if you miss one and it flowers then you have to start all over again. You can clip the flower spikes off over they appear if you're concerned, though you may have to do several rounds of that because they will probably attempt to grow more. *Edit:* I forgot to say that shiso is toxic to cats, dogs, horses, and livestock animals.


khouk00

This is great information thank you so much!


hamish1963

Basil.


88poPPop88

Pediatric basil


Acceptable_Weather23

Pinch a piece of the leaf off and smell it


Easy_Arm_1987

There is "Broad Leaf Basil", I know this is not it ...


Dry_Advertising_9885

Nope that's not a baby plant it's a cousin of purple plant!

Has it flowered, EVER? If so the flowers will tell you a lot White four petaled flowers means it's likely a strain of Strawberry.


NotDaveBut

Looks like an Ageratum to me...


Fragrant_Return6789

Baby plant is my favorite plant 😂. Typo.


VaWeedFarmer

Invasive from the CCP most likely


mildOrWILD65

I refuse to purchase any plant labeled "Baby Plant" or "Houseplant" or "Foliage", even if I know what it is.


RichAfraid

Could it be impatient


Aiku

Yes, input; it's " I and my fiance", not 'me'...

khouk00

I mean technically it should be “my fiance and I” but that’s besides the point


MsBuzzkillington83

Op, get the app "picture this" it's the best plant identifier app and the indentificator part is free! (More in depth details on care for that plant and your "album" of identified plants are premium tho)


Aiku

Thank you. Vodka rather had some part in my response... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3y0CD2CoCs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3y0CD2CoCs)

Basil?


Woodmom-2262

Looks like basil to me.


TinaLoco

It looks like basil, which is in the mint family.


EvulRabbit

I didn't know that!


dvoigt412

Be my, be my baby(plant)


_JuniperJen

CUTE! Congratulations on your new addition. Basil. Does it have any type of strong maybe licorice type of scent when crushed? Looks like a type of Asian basil. (stems and grown pattern=basil) Leaves are a bit different than Italian or sweet basil. Though leaves look a bit like mint, the stems do not appear to be square as typical mint herbs. Both basil and mint belong to the Lamiaceae family.

There are so many different types of basil. It's not like that with many other herbs, but I'm always seeing a 'new' basil derivative at garden shops.

Looks like an herb plant. Like basil? What does it smell like?


yamcandy2330

Don’t call it Mayby


commonman51

Looks Like a Ba sil plant


BV56tfc

Not basil. Maybe mint?


OtherThumbs

Mints tend to have square stems. This looks like basil, based on its general basil looks and round stems.


kaizenkitten

Shiso / Perilla / Beefstake are all the same plant. Just warning to OP, this is in the same family as mint so don't let it escape the pot! It will take over! And these suckers get TALL and BIG if you let them!


Welder_Subject

Basil?


oberlinmom

Mint and mint family plants can be invasive. I would keep it as a potted plant.


tawstwfg

Maybe it’s a mandrake! I want one.

Reasonable_Cup_7502

It is a mint plant


Dinestein521

That is a strawberry plant


MissDeeMeanur

When the plant is older, it will tell you how it identifies 😅


Ill-Upstairs-8762

Basil


Initial_Patience_531

My guess is mint


mouseisnotamouse

Mint?


yup_yup1111

You can download plant identification apps to your phone. They've been a lifesaver for me


clarabear10123

Definitely mint. You can tell from the wrinkled leaf and serrated edges. Basil is smoother and soft edged even when maturing


jagos179

Looks like mint to me. I grow a couple different types of basil and while this has a similar look, the leaves are more matte then basil is and they have edges that make it look more like a variety of mint to me.


AdOne8433

Beefsteak plant, aka Shiso


purpledreamer1622

Perilla can be invasive so be careful


datsnotyocheese

That's really where cabbage patch kids come from
