# Back again, my plant identification app SUCKSSS and I haven't gotten…

_Posted by Goldfish on 2024-12-12_

Back again, my plant identification app SUCKSSS and I haven't gotten around to finding a good one so please help me :'D I think it's a purple heart but really have no idea- all I was told about it is that it'll grow long enough to the point where she gave me a pot I can hang (like my pothos) it's leaves are papery and hairy, and the hairs are grabbing onto dirt etc.

Google Lens is very spot on.
