Name That Plant!

Can someone name this plant for me!?

11 years ago

I recieved these cuttings of this plant from a friend and she doesnt know the plants real name, she thought they were elephant ears but they look nothing like regular elephant ear plants. I need someone to tell me what this plant is called so I can search for the proper plant care on it. I took a picture to help identify it. Thank you!

What colour were the flowers when it was blooming? If yellow, and it grew from a rosette of leaves clustered on the ground, it could be skeleton weed, which is a reportable weed. If so, it would be best to check with the Ag Dept as if it gets hold it can be a big problem.

There is no distinctive odor with fresh tea Camellia leaves. I would treat it as a houseplant till you learn more. You may have to wait for it to bloom before you know with certainty. I would place it outdoors in partial shade once frost danger is over. It will certainly grow better outdoors during the warmer months. Tea blossoms are white with yellow centers and about an inch across. They are usually fragrant and typically bloom in fall. Bees find them irresistible.

If you know for sure it's a house plant - it might be Philodendron bipennefolium.

They'll root in plain water, and seem to do well in a free-draining mix that holds moisture (as usual!) Prefer bright light but not direct sun.

It might help to reduce the number of leaves on your cutting if you know it doesn't have a lot of roots yet.

Was it an outdoor plant or an indoor plant?

Syngonium is correct ID and it's got a bad case of Spider mites.
"Note: not all mites produce webbing"

"When the leaves have webs underneath and they are pale and dull-looking, what is the problem? This sounds like a spider mite infestation. Syngoniums are very susceptible to them. Give the plant a shower and then spray it with insecticidal soap, particularly the undersides of the leaves. Since these pests take advantage of hot, dry conditions, try to lower the temperature and provide more humidity to discourage the mites. Just keeping the dust off the leaves will help. Sometimes additional treatments may be needed after a week or two."
