this may be qualified under the id forum, but this is plant related. I found some sort of alocasia looking plant in a local garden growing almost out of control. i took a young one back to my house and potted it, hoping i could get it to grow in a viv. it has the shape of black velvet, but a little more of a heart, the young leaves are green and the older have a purple tint. veins are not to different, slightly lighter. What do yall think? Viv Safe?

A picture would definately help. I think most alocacia's are pretty good in a terrarium. I still haven't found a tropical houseplant that doesn't go gangbusters in any of my vivs other than having too much water or too little light.
