Solved Please help me identify this

Hiya, I've been growing my own little forest in doors for a while and found a beautiful plant/weed growing on my friends patio, I up rooted it and am currently propagating it in some water, I don't want to plant it until I know what it is so I can look after it properly. If anyone could shed some light I would be extremely grateful

 

Hi @PlantDaddy ..it's a Houttuynia cordata...aka orange peel plant...you maybe have guessed by the scent of the foliage...it can run riot outdoors but if it's indoors in a pot it'll be fine.If I understand right it prefers a damp semi shaded position.

 

Oh my god, thank you so much, that's so helpful, I'll pot it later today and give it lots of love

 

Yes indeed....don’t plant it out in your garden Plant Daddy.
I grow it in a pool and in a pot in the garden. Every piece of root forms a plant. It’s bindweed on steroids
It will thrive in sand, in water ...anywhere.

 

Thanks for all the advice! Been researching it and turns out it's a herb! I'm always looking for interesting new stuff to cook with and I think I've found my next food project
