I'm guilty. I was naughty and bought a plant and I didn't even know what it was. After asking numerous employees at Home Depot (where I bought it) and after searching books and Inet for the past few hours, I'm at a loss. Maybe someone can help. To begin with, it has thick, green stems that come straight out of the soil. Each stem has numerous branches, which end in a cluster of 3-5 leaflets, like a schefflera, only each leaflet is serrated, roughly 4-5 inches wide and 6-8 inches long (the biggest I can find) and is fuzzy underneath. It has the grabber tendrils of a grape, though only a few dead ones are still on the plant. It's roughly 6 feet wide and 2-3 feet high currently. For $14 I figured a plant of that size was worth it :P Now if I can just find out what it is :)
It sound like a grape ivy (Cissus rhombifolia) http://www.chungnam.rda.go.kr/lifeinfo/life_info/cyber/1150.htm
Here are 2 pics of it. If it is a cissus it is unlike any I have seen before. It looks similiar but noticably different then the rhombifolia that I have.
The plant sounds and looks like Tetrastigma voinierianum (chestnut or lizard vine). Check out this link to UCLA
Thats it! \o/ Thank you very much for the help. After doing some more looking and also looking at entries in my books it seems it'll get 50-60 feet wide..... so I guess I need to buy another house :P
