    I have one of these too! A couple of years ago, I was doing lots of fundraising, and asked at my son's primary if they had any plants I could take cuttings of for my plant stall. I got several of these, with loads of wee ones, and sold them all! I kept one - nearly lost it last year - but it seems to have revived itself, and is growing fast. i didn't know the m=name of it - but called it a 'penny plant', because of the shape of the leaves - and because it was a best seller!

    One browser told me that they like the soil dry - think maybe I'd been overwatering it.

    An interesting-looking plant with a very interesting story.

    I was halfway there but I hadn't seen one since the 80's so I only had a vague memory of it. Obviously a few folk still grow it though.
    Seems like another ID has been sorted. [​IMG]
