Hi there, This is my first posting here. I have this plant on my sundeck and it comes inside for the winter. It has magenta stems and purple shiny foliage with pink veins. Most of the leaves are round shaped, but some have little divits in both ends (where it comes from the stem and where the "tip" would be) like a sideways figure 8. It grows upwards, but doesn't seem to be a vine. It has not had any flowers that I have been able to see over the last year. (I got it as a favour from my brothers wedding last year.) It used to be quite small and stayed that way for some time, but has just recently started to become quite happy and is growing lots! I'm not sure what to expect out of this little plant. Does anyone know what it is? or what it will turn into? I haven't been able to find anything about it on the internet by describing it into search engines.
