Hi Susan, I think I've always known these as Arrowhead plants. I thought they were in the philodendron family.. learn something new every day. If it is what I've grown before, they grow upright when young and as they mature, the growth becomes kind of becomes viney, like a philodendron, very easy to root in water. I don't think you'd have to grow it under lights, as they do fine for me in normal room lighting...

Wow, thanks BonBon. Everything I have seen, including a bit of shy flowering, indicates they are an aroid. I could be wrong, and so could the sites I've visited. You know, in a perfect world and all that......

Good, now if I can only find an available window with some light! My house is pretty much surrounded by lots of trees, except for my spare room, f/k/a my plant room, now known as my daughter's room, in which the south sliding doors are blocked by an entertainment center, dresser drawers, and the computer stand/setup! Ah, one of these days......my plans will pan out.

Actually, I love having them here (my daughter and granddaughter).

FOrgot to mention, philos are aroids as well.
