    Thanks, yes it is mine. Someone gave it to me as a gift when it was a lot smaller and I could never figure out the name. I mix multi vitamins in with my water bottle so hopefully that helps keep them healthy :p

    Yeah the funny thing is how it moves so rapidly towards the window to get sunlight :p I have to turn it around every now and then to keep it from leaning 100% of its weight to the side.

    She's a beauty!
    How big is the pot it's in? This spring might be the ideal time to re pot it. :stew2:

    I have it in a 10 inch pot. Technically I did repot it a few weeks ago by changing the soil :p

    A larger pot means it would grow larger though? I do not want it to cover my whole living room :p

    Very nice plant you have there garden_newbie!
    It looks so healthy and full looking!

    I have the juvenile form of the same plant, leaves are very heart shaped with no holes yet.
    What kind of light does yours get? Mine is off to the side of a south facing window and it still tends to lean if it's not turned regularly like yours.

    Hi Bluewing, well not sure on what scale to rank the type of light it gets. As you may notice in the pic it is located beneath the window sill. A good amount of light comes though the window.

    Thanks garden_newbie!

    I think mine would like a little more direct light then if it's going to grow as big as yours :smt039
