Started off as a propagation but decided I will grow it in water 🩵💧

(Easiest plant to propagate btw. Grew roots in less than a day and had secondary roots in less than a week)

I want to know what it is as well.

It’s a sweet potato vine! Just not sure it’s a ‘blackie’ or a ‘sweet Caroline jet black’. The leaves come out a vibrant green and turn really dark with enough light (:

Is it a sweet potato vine, Ipomoea batatas? They grow fast.

Yes it is!
