As promised I have more, if I could figure out how to post more than one picture per thread I would do this all as one long post.

Obviously this guy doesn't look very healthy. i don't know what he is either. I have a sneaky suspicion it is an "arrowhead" but no one pays me to think so I am asking for help........ I have a close up of a healthy leaf in this pot, if it is needed.

as stated I repotted all plants yesterday, getting them ready for the winter (if there is such a thing). Figure they could possibly be root bound, none of them were actually. When I carefully was shaking the old dirt out of the root base of this one, several stems (with at least 4 leaf stalks broke off of the root system (didn't break off with roots). I was being very gentle, so I don't know if this is a sign that isn't healthy?

I took the broken stems trimmed a little off the bottoms and placed in a cup of water, hoping they will sprout roots. I don;t know if this is possible???? If this is an arrowhead plant what is it's ideal conditions? Direct light does not seem to be a good thing. The leaves look burnt if i put in sun, so it sits in a hall with no windows aimed at it.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. My mom cried when she saw this is the arrangement at the funeral, said my little brother had one of these under his back yard tree until some kid mowed it for him. I kind of get depressed when i see this one not doing too well. (i am not a crazy person, i promise!!!! just emotional)
