Gardening is like cooking. To improve, you need to be willing to make mistakes and experiment. Also, common names are garbage. Zone 9b, West Sac, CA.

I have no recollection of us talking about this plant, but one of my colleagues (a sweet vegan lady whose voice has a breathless quality to it) left these cuttings from her garden (in a cup of water pinned to the corkboard in the break room), with a big 'ol note informing everyone that it was for me. I identified the plant via Google Lens, wrote the scientific name (and "TY!") on the note, and took the cup and its contents home.

In the east we call this Swedish ivy. They root right in the soil too. I started years ago with a cutting just like yours, and in a years time you can have a full hanging basket! 😍
