    I had a plant several years ago that was a tough little bugger. It just grew and grew no matter how often I forgot to water it! I got it from my biology teacher back in high school, but I can't remember the name.

    It was vine-like, and yet had a very sturdy stem and could stand several feet high before the weight of the leaves caused it to creep along my desk. The leaves varied in size, depending on how close the particular stem was to my window. They varied from 1 inch to 3-4 inches in width!

    I'd like to get my hands on another since I had to give my original one away when I left for college a few years ago.
    Can anyone identify this robust beauty?
