hahaha I'm in a dysfunctional relationship with one (well, two...it's propragated enough to fill two hanging baskets) of my
plants.
I'm really allergic to the thing, and though I've neglected it, it keeps coming back for more! hahaha I can't bear to just throw it away, but I develop rashes and blisters any time I mess around with the thing. I have to be decked out in Hazmat gear just to groom it
Okay, so I know I had the name of the
plant when I bought it, but now I can't seem to find any info on it.
The
plant is in the wandering jew family, but it has long (~3-4") narrow purplish leaves rather than squatty roundish leaves. It does have tiny hairs on the under side of the leaf. It grows in long stringers, sort of like a pothos, but the stems are pretty thick and they break off easily. It sprouts really pretty little purple
flowers that seem to be wrapped and snuggled in a leaf when they are young then grow out a bit.
If anybody can help with the name, I'd really appreciate it. I'd like to do some more research on the crazy thing! <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />
