Another view:




I wonder if it will continue to grow?

3. My dear pacalo!
I *might* have a green thumb if the plant is indestructible, lol!

That's what I'm talking about...that little leaf under water!

Never saw anything quite like that before...

2. Oh sure. A philodendron will survive a nuclear holocaust.
Just don't bury the (oh hell there's a name for it but my middle aged anomia is kicking in) "site" where the leaf is sprouting when you put it in dirt.

6. My dear RedCloud!
Thanks for the tip!

I'm not concerned about how well this is coming along...

I was just amazed to see the little leaf growing under water!
