Growing a new terrestrial plant from my aquarium.
I've got a Hoya in my tank right now that's doing great, and I'm thinking it'll be awesome for growing out of an aquarium. It's a cutting from a super old house plant, like over 100 years old, that used to belong to my wife's grandmother. We've had a few different varieties as house plants - the ones with variegated leaves, curly leaves, and those with whites and pinks. But I just found this new one I'd never seen before, and I'm gonna give it a shot in a tank - it's called a "Black Margin Hoya" (Hoya Verticillata). Assuming it's a flowering vine like the rest of the Hoyas, right?

Re: Growing a new terrestrial plant from my aquarium.
Just a heads up, that picture might be a bit misleading - kinda like those fish pics from sellers, always showing a male in full mating colors. I dug up some info from different sources on this Hoya, and it seems like the black edges aren't usually that wide, more like a thin trim on the leaves, not extending into the top or bottom like this one. Guess I'll just have to wait and see what mine looks like when it arrives.
