Hi teengardener,

It looks to me very like an Aspidistra, although the bit lying over your arm confuses me a bit, because I thought it might be a flowering shoot. Aspidistras flower on the soil under the plant and usually are a very muddy purple colour, not what you could call pretty.

I 'd like to see another picture. It looks more like one of the night blooming cacti. Epiphyllum oxypetalum is probably the most commonly grown as a house plant.

Picture is too small to really tell; but I agree with rhizo. Looks more like an epi than Aspidistra.

Possiby a fairly well beat up ZZ plant?

YES!!!!!!!!. THIS IS ZZ PLANT. I THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT IT IS BUT I DIDNT BELIEVE IT. THANK YOU riptidefrog.

Teen, are you talking about the pic w/a man holding a plant? When I clicked on your link, a man holding a plant is displayed.

If that's the pic, it doesn't look like ZZ to me. I agree w/Rhizo, it looks like Epiphyllum. lol. Toni

this is zz plant the leaves fell off he stalk.

I saw this last night & wondered about it myself. Tho' the pic is largely in shadow, take a look at the lower part of those stalks, fattened stalks did look to me like those thickened lower parts of their stalks which seem to act rather like water storage organs.

I missed it on the leaves, but did see it on the stems.

Fun plants, I have several of them (I started from leaves). They're almost indestructable except to overwatering.

Tho' somewhat unusual looking they are in the Aroid family & have blooms that look similar to those of Spathyphyllum (Peace Lily).
