    It sells everywhere but I still don't know the name.

    Can someone please give me the proper name so I can research it?

    Thanks in advance!

    Not a Zebrina pendula for sure... I have one...

    Moses in a Boat: (Rhoeo spathacea) I'm not sure. it does look a bit like it. But Mine is 2-3 feet high. Here's another pic. It's bright purprle under the leaves.

    I thought maybe it was some kind of 'pineaple plant' or something...
