Plant ID

Aug 24, 2005 2 Replies

I was at a friend's house recently and they had a type of jew that had very small, dark green leaves and the plant was real bushy and full and looked great cascading down in a hanging basket. We've started up a greenhouse and they gave us a small sample to root but we need to know the real name of the plant.



They said it was called a "baby jew" or "afro jew" and they'd never heard it called anything else. I've looked and looked under those names and can't find anything. I saw a description for one type of jew that was close, but without seeing a real plant I couldn't tell. I have asked at a couple other houses and they didn't know the plant by either of those names.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,



Tom
