Philodendron

Time you got around to sponsoring a child
A Philodendron is a tropical plant that grows by climing up a host tree. Typical domesticated Philodendrons have heart-shaped leaves with crenealtions - giving the leaves a finger-like appearance. The name derives from the Greek - "lover of trees."
