A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Weird Black Taro Lookin Plant

Hi Everyone!
I have this new plant that i got from work in the water garden section. Mr. Hat *the water garden guy* was like "I've been watching you look at that for the past month now. Its got new ones growing off of it. Go ahead and take one."

So ya, it looks like this, only black


And it does the spider plant thing where it'll have a vine that grows off of it, and it'll root, and a leave will shoot out of a stemmy thing, and it'll do all that ^.^ Just like a Philodendron Monstera!

But ya, anyway ^.^ anyone know what it is? I think its a midnight something.

Jet Black Gold Taro

Black Magic/Black Leaf Elephant Ear

Hmmmmmmmmmm
The Black Magic one looks the most like it. I'll have to check at the greenhouse tomorrow ^.^ But ya, that definately sounds like it, cuz it says its a great addition to a water garden, cuz it needs to be kept moist. Well that's what www.plantsdatabase.com says anyway *shrugs*
