Please name plant and advise on care, propagation
Comments (4)Kind of looks like a Philodendron vine or maybe a golden Pothos. Both are fairly common indoor plants. A healthy watering and a sunny window will probably have in back in shape shortly. Once the leaves start looking a little healthier you could try re-rooting them. Cut the vines a few inches below the leaves and stick the cut ends into a glass of water. In a week or so the vines will grow new roots that you can re-pot. This way you get a little less of the long bare vine look. When healthy, they act like most any vine would, they look for something to cling to and climb up. If there's a table leg next to them, they'll climb it. In some cases I've actually seen the vines cling to a bare wall with small roots they send out of the side. They don't grow terribly fast though, and you can train them to climb most anything just by placing a vine where you want it to go....See Morename and care of this plant???

Comments (5)Anthony You could try to cut just a sliver off one of the 'leaves'/branches and see if it bleeds white sap - latex. Euphorbias do. Be careful, many ppl are very sensitive to it (it could cause dermatitis) and for sure wash your hands after handling it - don't get any sap into your eyes. Bleeding could be stopped with a spray of water. Kathi I am only suggesting something else than epi since it looks quite 'stiff' to me, grows upright (I don't see any support?) and also the color. Would like to know for sure what it is......See Morechristine 5b
