Hi folks.
What do we have here? This robust, cheerful plant arrived years ago in a bowl with goldfish. It outlived the goldfish.
Its leaves are ivy-shaped at maturity and 3-4cm across, as you see in the photo attached.
It has grown slowly but uncomplainingly in low light, throwing out a long, trailing tendril stem with leaf axles every ~2cm.
Every now and again I give it a squirt of generic plant food when I change its water. I've twice had to thin out the root mass in the Ball jar in which it lives.
Would it grow in soil (not that it seems unhappy with its roots in pure water) ?
How would I encourage its growth? If ever there is a plant that asks little and gives a lot, it is this one.
