    This plant is mostly green.but some leaves are green with purple top. The leaves are somewhat heart shaped. Please help me,again.(This is a dead leaf. I didn't have the heart to break off a new one).

    I think it's a philodendron on some kind.

    I need a little more information than that, please. I am trying to label all my plants and posting proper care of each one, so a name is really needed as I can not find this plant's full name.

    A photo of the living plant will be required, I think.

    Possibly juvenile Syngonium podophyllum.

    Almost certainly Syngonium podophyllum, but likely a hybrid. The true species is not often available while hybrids are easily purchased. The species loves to run and climb. In our atrium we have them growing 12 feet up the center post of the building. These frequently mutate so you'll find they will produce green, then red, then combinations of just about anything you can see on the vine. The plant is commonly called Arrowhead vine. Nice plant, but if you like in a semi-tropical location keep in indoors. The species can easily become a problem climbing on everything it can find to climb.
