    I have had this plant for many years. It grows like a vine and puts off very small white flowers occasionally,. I love it so I'd like to know more if anybody has an idea. Thanks!

    The tips do grow little leaves and it likes to send off little root hairs.
    I searches a little with the previous hint and the closest looking thing I could find was
    Kalanchoe delagoensis. I am going to look into it a little further. Thanks for the help!

    Here a couple more pictures. Kalanchoe delagoensis was close but I don't think it's the one.

    Kalanchoe beauverdii maybe? Common name for this type of Kalanchoe with babies on the tips are called, "Mother of Thousands". Now you know why:>)

    Its Bryophyllum delagoensis not B. beauverdii. The maculate leaves are typical of the former. B.beauverdii has completely blackish leaves and slender stems.

    The reason its growing viny is because its not getting enough light.

    Neither has white flowers.
