Does anybody know the name of this plant? My girlfriend has this hanging indoor plant but unfortunately we came home to find it on the floor because the plant had snapped from the base of the plant. It was her favourite and she was rather upset. We’ve tried to propagate from cuttings to no luck. I’d like to buy a new plant for her but the name wasn’t on the pot and she’s forgotten what it was called. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm 99.999% certain it's a Plectranthus verticillatus ... aka Swedish Ivy ... I had quite a few back in the 70/80s ... they were very popular houseplants then.
They're not often seen in shops and garden centres ... probably because they usually strike so easily from cuttings (in a jar of water) that they get passed around by friends ... however, there seem to be some for sale on Etsy

Good luck 🤞
