Kind of sounds like a Homalomena.

You watch your phraseology, young lady!

Such potty mouth in a erudite garden group.

BTW, exactly what does a Homalomena sound like?
Are they doing their mating call this time of year?

Based on the description, it could even be something as commonplace as a
rhizomatous Begonia!

Hello,

I recently received an unusual plant as a gift, and I don't know what
it is and how to take care of it. Please advise.

It has large, shiny, dark green heart-shaped leaves which are 2"-3" in
diameter. Each leave comes out a long straight stem which is about
8"-10" tall. The root system looks it is a cross between bulbs and
rizomes. The shape is like a skinny oval bulb, but the outside looks
like it has rings like on rizomes. The medium it comes in is a dish
with large stones and water, and there is no soil.

I would love any advice you can give me about this plant.

Thanks in advance,
Luna
