Help me identify! Save a plant's life!

 


Hi all!  My first post!  I need help to identify a plant I was given so
I know
how to care for it.

it has is light green, long 'hand like' leaves, some with 5 fingers (the
middle
one the longest), the most distinct feature are the roots which
are like orchid
roots from where the new leaves spring. These roots are
covered in little hairs
and grow over the side of the pot!

When I was given it, the leaves wre becoming yellow and dry to a dark
brown.
the texture of the leaves are a little waxy but it reminds me of
a fern of some
sort but I cannot find any pics of it anywhere.

It was a hosueplant but I am not sure if it would be better off in the
garden.
I repotted it and watered it but this seems to make it worse,
it hasn't
responded to exposure to light at all.  So I'm perplexed!!

Please help!  Any ideas / ID welcome!

regards,
Fran

if u were able to show us a picture of the plant then we might be able
to
identify it for u.
a good way to do that is to take a pic then put it in photobucket or
some
other free photo site and then post the link back here to garden
banter.
good luck and hopefully we can help.   cyaaaaaaa, sockiescat.
