Heart Ivy
What kind of plant do I have?
It's a vine indoor plant. It's leaves are spade or heart shaped. The leaves are green and some have white "blotches" on it but not many. And the leaves are small maybe 2 in by 2 in maybe alittle bit bigger. The actual vine is green and leaves only seem to grow on the end of the vine. On the vine itself, it's like it grows in sections (there is a ring around the vine, like there might have been a leaf there but not anymore and it's like that every 3 to 4 in to the very end). If it is an ivy what kind? Ivy's usually have three points, this one only has one.
It sounds like a Philodendron.
A popular houseplant that is a climbing vine with aerial roots, which has heart shaped or oblong leaves with occasional patterns of different colors. The most harmful parts of the philodendron are the leaves, which contain needle like crystal of poisonous acids. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystal and has similar characteristics to the Dieffenbachia and Caladium. When a cat bites or chews a leaf, the crystals enter the mucous membranes of the cat’s mouth, causing painful burning in the mouth, tongue and throat and sometimes gastrointestinal sings that are very severe and prolonged.. The leaves also contain a protein based chemical that, if swallowed, can harm a cat’s kidneys. Because the acid crystal cause pain quickly after entering the mouth, cats rarely swallow pieces of philodendron leaves.
But they grow great!
