Can you post a photo of more of the plant? It could be Swedish Ivy: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1354/

or possibly Piggyback Plant: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/10287/

here's the link with info for the Piggyback Plant and more photo's: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1664/

Looks like Piggy back to me also, but I agree, a larger picture would help, If it is piggy back, those little tender tips on the stems will start off a new plant wherever they touch the soil. Good luck. Weenel.

Sure looks like a Swedish Ivy plant I used to have. I think it's a different variety than the one shown from Plant Files. It has slightly hairy leaves and is a brighter shade of green. Very pretty plant and easy to root new plants from.

Looks more like Swedish Ivy to me too. I also grew that plant a while back. Very easy to grow, loved it.
