    New houseplant gift; I want to take good care of it, but don't know what it is, so I'm having a hard time googling it!

    Thanks = )

    Looks like Basella alba (syn. B. rubra), Malabar Spinach. However it's not sold as a houseplant - at least in my area.

    Makes an interesting change from the usual Dracaena! I think that this plant should have more leaves---if it gets through the winter, it should be put outside in the sun.
