I was given this for Mother's Day ... and it is my favorite plant EVER! Very pretty and spreads nicely!

Very hearty as house plant. Very easy to propagate by clippings in water. Mine is very unusual texture and color. Deep red (looks like chocolate) almost to edge, then ¼ inch light green edge. Trails over pot. Has cream or white tiny flowers.
