I need help to ID this
plant I recently got from my grandparents. It has a large 8" leaf, and they told me it was called an Elephant Leaf Ivy, but I can't find any info about it on the web. My Papa said someone gave it to them years and years ago when they were in a garden club, and he tried
growing it on fences and prostrate, but it got in his way one day so he just threw it up against a
tree base with intentions of getting rid of it, but a when he got around to it again, it had started to climb the
tree and had doubled in size. When I saw it a week ago, it was over 8 foot up the
tree, had gotten too weighty and had fallen, but Papa said that it did that, and started climbing again. The pic I have is just a cutting that I put in the ground, and is not the full
plant. The stem has reddish streaks on it, and is about 3/4" to 1" thick. Does anyone know what the scientific name or correct common name is?
Sorry, I got a little winded, but I thought the little extra info might help in IDing this
plant.
