Any idea what kind of weed this is on the right? I live in Texas and these are sprouting up everywhere. Would like to target them with the right product.

Since this is in a pavement area, boiling water is often an effective, safe, aand cheap weed killer

If it *is* nutsedge, the tiny tubers below the surface (the "nut" part of the name), won't be killed by boiling water and will resprout. If you repeat often enough you can deplete the tubers, but if you aren't on top of it constantly they will produce new tubers given the first opportunity.

Systemic herbicides can kill the tubers that are still attached to the plant. Glyphosate is cheap if you buy it as concentrate - I have a $10 bottle that can reduce about 2,000 square feet of heavy brush to bare ground (or about 3,000 square feet of normal weeds). If you're spot-treating weeds like you would with boiling water, that $10 bottle will last a lifetime. Wear gloves and stand upwind when spraying to minimize exposure.

A photo focused on the plant instead of the driveway would go a long way. All I can tell from that blur is that it's a grass of some sort.

Also try to get a closeup of the area where the blade joins the "stem" -- both on the blade side and opposite. Little details in that area are often key to grass identification.

If you can't get sharp photos, your best bet will be to check online for common weed grass species near where you live (Texas is a big place) and see if any of the descriptions match what you have.

Download the PlantNet app; it is a great tool for identifying assorted flora.

Stem looks round to me, sedges have triangular stems. OP, you should be able to feel that it's triangular if it's sedge.

FWIW, I don't expect an app to be any good at identifying a grass-like plant this young. They're good at mature plants, especially with flowers, etc, but new shoots are easy to mix up.

Also if this isn't in a lawn or close to other desirable plants, just get some glyphosate (aka roundup) -- that will kill just about anything and will be way cheaper than selective herbicides anyway.

How about this?

Better, but still blurry when zoomed in, unfortunately 😞 I can't even tell if the stem is round from the photos, let alone what the leaf collars look like. If they look sharp to you zoomed in, maybe try uploading them somewhere other than Fishbowl, in case Fishbowl is killing the image quality?

Is it just me or is this a pretty weed

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
