This is a fast-spreading plant grown from a cutting. Given to me by a friend who doesn't know what it is either. Hope someone can help. Many thanks.

    I think that's a Plectranthus. It's a long while since I grew it though, so maybe I'm mis-remembering.

    Looks like a plectranthus to me too. 😊

    Thank you both. I shall check it out. It is not a plant I know at all.

    It’s a trailing houseplant that was very popular in the 70/80s … it seems to be coming back into fashion. 

    Cuttings strike very quickly in a jar of water.
