Identify? What is this?
I’ve been given this in a cup of water and it had lots of rooting.. I decided to just put it into a pot about a week ago and no changes but I’m just not sure what this is and how to care for it… #plantidentification

@Orchidsparadise @WinPepino12 the app's ID tool is typically unreliable at best, but in this case I think it's correct. Looks like a purple waffle plant, one that could use some TLC. How long were the roots before moving it to soil? Water roots are different than soil roots, so it will take some time to get established and might look worse before it looks better. Not all plants survive the transition from water to soil. Make sure the pot has drainage, don't let the soil stay soggy, and give it plenty of bright indirect sunlight.
Saxifraga stolonifera (commonly known as strawberry saxifrage, creeping saxifrage, or mother of thousands) is a popular, mat-forming perennial native to Asia. Famous for its trailing, thread-like stolons that produce miniature plantlets, it is widely grown as an easy-care indoor houseplant or a shaded groundcover in mild climates.Quick Care GuideLight: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Protect from direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves.Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch to dry out between waterings.Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix (e.g., standard peat-based mix).Temperature & Humidity: Prefers cool to average room temperatures ($10°C to $24°C) and moderate to high humidity.Propagation: Easily propagated by pinning the small plantlets (stolons) into fresh soil while still attached to the mother plant, or by detaching them once roots form.Key FeaturesFoliage: Round to heart-shaped, scalloped leaves that are dark green with striking silvery-white veins on top, and reddish-purple underneath.Flowers: Blooms in late spring to early summer, producing delicate, airy sprays of white flowers with asymmetrical petals (the two lower petals are significantly longer than the top three).Toxicity: According to the ASPCA, this plant is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for pet owners.
I hope this information can be helpful for you.
