My boss brought me these tiny little pieces of a plant, she didn't know what it is and I don't either, the stems are rather woody and it rooted from the base of the leaves in water. as you can see, it had bloomed before she snipped it off, but I don't have a clue what the flowers were like. Does anyone know anything about this plant?
What is this??
the leaves kinda look like swedish ivy to me but I could be wrong.
Plectranthus verticillatus - Many call this plant a Creeping Charlie or Swedish Ivy by it common name. It is fun plant, easy to grow from cuttings. It roots so easily, you can just pinch a stem and plant it in the soil in the same pot - or root it in water. Here is the care information from the Plant Files
Plectranthus verticillatus
Yes, looks like Swedish Ivy, Creeping Charlie Plectranthus to me also. Check out these photo's in Plant Files and see if this is your plant:
