3 Pinanga coronata or some othe Pinanga palm? (This is really just a guess based on the leaves looking like the picture in my little palm book.) 7 Could this be a Walking Iris, Neomarica sp? I think I see a plantlet at the end of a long leaf. 11 Snakeplant, Sansevieria trifasciata WW

Your plant, one of my favorites) is Bush Ivy (Fatshedera lizei). It is important to understand how it grows to use it correctly. Unlike other ivies, it does not have little roots that cling. It must be supported (espalied) on a wall, fence or pergola. As it matures in your zone it will send out branches that could be 12' long and it becomes very heavy so needs a strong support. It can be pruned back and controlled any time of the year. I have grown it on a fence using tiers of grape wire supended through screw eyes and the branches afixed to the wire with single wrap velcro. Also, the entrance to my garden in a former home was a strong arch with Bush Ivy secured to it. In the late winter you will note quite a bit of yellowing and dropping leaves. Normal situation not to worry about. Hopefully you can find a growing situation for this plant. It is a beauty.

They both have there pros and cons But if your soil does drain fairly fast then the plant really isn't soaking up any of it. That way if you soak it it insures that your plant Is obtaining the water that it needs. Like Rhizo said it might also need repotting if it is pot bound. In which the root mass takes up most of the pot leaving less soil to absorb the moisture. Like you said just fill up a sink and put it in there for maybe 5-10 minutes then allow it to drain out in the sink. You don't have to soak all your plants you can also water them how you would normally. I usually soak my succulents and my big spider plant as the succulents are in a fast draining mix and my spider is due for a repot and insures that the water dosnt spill all out the bottom and create a waterfall down my cabinet like it has done in the past I'm not sure what the white thing is but you said you've noticed webbing between the leave so like purple said that's most likely spider mites. I'd look for spider mites damage on the leaves and for more webbing. I usually use a flashlight at night and go through all the leaves to make sure I see no webbing or mites.
