I've been watching this plant grow in my kitchen for many years now...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

It just keeps getting bigger....and BIGGER. Now it's climbing the walls!

Nice composition, as always! And a beautiful pot!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Aw, thank you, my dear Ohiogal! They really are graceful.

I seem to remember the pot being a gift.

3. Whatever those are, they're like the easiest houseplant to grow in the world

And I know this cause I've had them for years and years w/o killing them also

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. They are very easy to grow, my dear mr_lebowski!

I did almost kill one once, long ago. Never again!

... in a vase with water

... no windows, no actual day

I just put more water in the vase every 3 months or so and it keeps growing. All the way around the mirror now.

18. I've seen one

Grow up through a mini-blind on the table near it. It was fun un-weaving that one

[Catamount]

5. Me too

I think its called Devils Ivy
because it is so prolific!
Mine is 25 years plus!
It survived a move 15 years ago.
If I find out how to post a pic on DU
I will!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Ahhhh, miss this plant. Very easy to grow and propagate too, just divide and place in water.

Neat.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Yup, it's so easy! I've got several cuttings in the pot that has this one.

I was amazed to see it traveling up the window frame!

20. I've seen them in the tropics with leaves a foot in diameter, growing up trees.

When I was a kid my grandmother had the solid green variety growing around the walls of her living room. It was growing out of a blue bottle shaped like a violin.
I have a Monstera deliciosa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monstera_deliciosa) in my greenhouse, it has taken over half of it. They have a fruit that tastes like pineapple. I planted a cutting at the base of the house on the East side against a cinder block wall. It has made it through several years even though we get frost.

23. Thanks for your fascinating comments, my dear AnotherDreamWeaver!

I enjoyed the Wikipedia article too. These plants have amazing variations in the ways they grow.
