    Please can someone tell me the name of this plant. I've had it for several years, and it hardly grows at all.

      I don't know it, but Google suggests - Syngonium 'Pixie', also known as a dwarf arrowhead plant.

          Thank you @Pete8 that looks like the one it is :smile:

          I can't remember where I bought it @Bluejayway, but it was quite inexpensive. That was several years ago. It has grown a bit but only very slowly. It seems to thrive on neglect.

            Thanks for the info @Michael Hewett , found a seller on eBay so took the plunge. Think it’s bound to be quite a small specimen that arrives, without a pot, so fingers crossed!

              I think it could be a Syngonium, they are popular good houseplants with plenty of cultivars.

              I had one when I was a teenager, and the habit was most annoying, not quite trailing nor climbing, just messy. Yours looks like a much prettier cultivar @Michael Hewett :)

                You are right, it doesn't climb or trail, I've been waiting for it to do one or the other for ages, but it's more of a bush.

                    New one to me but I do like it @Michael Hewett . We don’t do e-bay but there is a very good family run Garden centre nearby , apart from top-quality plants have a Houseplant section next time we’re out that way I will enquire.

                      I can't remember where I got mine from but I think it was somewhere like Home Bargains or something. Small garden centres often have unusual plants and it's nice to support them too, so I hope you can get one.
