This is a somewhat common houseplant and also a poplular groundcover in warmer areas of the world. My plants aren\u2019t as purple as I\u2019ve seen in photos due to a lack of bright sun, but they do grow vigorously, providing trailing stems and some lovely pink flowers now and again. Leon brought my original cutting back from his cousin Brenda\u2019s house about six years ago. It was never on my wish list, but now I have about eight of them, as they are so easy to propagate and it feels so wasteful to throw trimmings away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
