"Sheep's Ear" Plant: Identification and Care

Name Confusion

"Sheep's ear" is not a standard common name for any common houseplant. You may have Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina), a fuzzy-leaved perennial grown outdoors, not as a potted indoor plant. Alternatively, it could be a mislabeled Kalanchoe, Plectranthus, or another succulent.

How to Get a Proper ID

Email a clear photo (whole plant, close-up of leaves, stem, and any flowers) to a horticultural expert. With a correct identification, you'll receive precise care instructions for light, water, soil, and propagation.

General Advice for Unknown Plants

• Place in bright, indirect light.
• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Use well-draining cactus/succulent mix if leaves are thick/fleshy.
• Avoid fertilizing until ID is confirmed.
