brbbritt Charlotte, NC November 09, 2009 09:54 AM	Does anyone know what this is? When I first got it, it had a little orange flower on it. I have not had one since and I have had it for over a year. Also, it is very ugly. Very leggy. How do I fix this? View Larger

They can be cut back and the cutting root very easily. Here is some info on your plant. http://ont.net/balfour/page6.htm http://www.indoor-plant-care.com/indoor_plant.asp?item=plant...

The legginess comes from not enough light, but if you look at the brown stems, they have rootlets. You can cut them back and lay the stems on soil and they will grow.
