Inherited Plant. No idea what it is!? Please Help!? Female
Default Inherited Plant. No idea what it is!? Please Help!?

Well I like plants (understatement of the year) and have a little luck with just acquiring plants from people who don't want them any more. As such I've acquired this little monster.

It it very easy to grow, Light + Water, step back and let go! It also has a slight rambling/hanging/climbing habit.
Propagation is also seem to be very easy, snap of a leave node and plant.... that's it.
Was wondering if it would ever flower (or stop growing!) and well it has. Unfortunately can't tell if it's got any scent at the moment because I have a cold.

So the big question does anyone know what this thing is? I've never come across a house plant like it before, so really have no idea. And the person who gave it to me didn't know either

Thanks in advance for any help that can be given with this

The plant you see now was nothing more than a few leaves about 6 months ago.
Individual Flowers just under 2cm (8/10inch) long.
Spikes up to about 25cm (10inch)

My guess would be Swedish Ivy.

Thank you Junebug! I'd say looking at some Swedish Ivy Pictures that you are indeed correct! I'm just going of to do a little happy dance now, and then I'm going to try and do some reading up on the little monster.

Really!? Does that mean I can "Engage Smug Mode" for a little while?

It's one that has certainly been making me smile recently. And well, brutally easy to care for
