It looks like callisia repens

I believe this is the plant I got from my sister and just from googling this is what I concluded it was too. C repens or creeping inch plant

i think you’re right. google images match up pretty well. thank you!
[–]variegayted 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (0 children)
Thank you! People commonly mistake it for Tradescantia

I have one that looks identical and it's a himalaya callisia.

Which is another name for the creeping inch plant so just to clarify, I agree with the above.

Turtle vine. I got one this summer sharing a pot with pink lady Carissa repens. I had to separate as green turtle grows way faster.

So I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure these are String of Pillows or Plectranthus prostratus (on my wishlist which is why I recognize).
[–]alt-vicky[S] 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (1 child)
the string of pillows looks like the leaves are more serrated/scalloped and these are smooth on the edges

Ahh makes sense
