Is This Plant Aquatic?

[pinkdolphin_113]

i was sold this beautiful looking plant for 75p. i don't know what it is and i'm pretty sure that the lfs i bought it off knows which plants are aquatic and which aren't and he would never sell plants that aren't aquatic.
the problem is, it currently has no roots! lol but i thought they may grow.
so, an ID would be great so i know how big it gets and if it needs any special requirements. he said it was an ivy plant.

here it is;

it is very difficult to get a direct photo, without the flash bouncing off the glass, of biggest leaf because of it's position in the tank and the position of my tank.

non-aquatic

Non aquatic. It is a Syngonium, probably S. podophyllum. A nice house plant often sold as suitable for aquaria, which it is not.

Yep! I believe that is it. Definately not an aquatic plant. I cant stand pet retailers that sell these regular old terrestrial houseplants as aquatic plants for aquariums!

Good that you got rid of it. Nice job on the tank! So what all aquatic plants did you get?
