Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Help me identify this plant! I still have no idea what this is but it appears to have rooted and is showing #newgrowth so I may eventually get my answer... PlantID

"Little Pickles" is a truly #greatname and I hope it proves correct. I found one on Google that looks just about identical called "Ruby Necklace" though I never saw anything less like a ruby necklace in my life...TY @yogi2 !

I had one. The name tag on the pot it said the little pickles othonna capensis. They don't do well indoors at all.

Well, that's alarming @yogi2 because in my zone I doubt very much it would make it outdoors for long...

I don't think this is it othonna capensis.. The leaves look almost identical, but that grows as a drapey vine (like a string of bananas, with bigger leaves), while the stem on this looks stiff and the leaf growth compact. Maybe some kind of ice plant? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Idk, no point stressing over an ID until you know it's gonna live and grow, right? Care is similar for both, so just keep doing what you're doing!
