I forget it botanical name, but I believe it is Wandering Jew. A very sturdy plant.

Commonly called wandering jew. It's supposed to be purple but it is not getting the amount of sun it should. It will have little pink flowers. I have lots of it in my flower beds. If she can put it outside in some sunny spot it should get more color and be less spindly. Super easy to grow. Just break off a piece and stick in moist soil or in water to root. It's hard to kill.

Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' -

It's a lovely plant, Caflowerluver, with its shades of green and purple.

It's very etiolated. Do you have a brighter location?

Yes - looks like a sun starved tradescantia to me.

Right now, mine looks exactly like the photo that Jasdip posted, pink flowers included, Mine is a perennial grown outside in planters on our east facing back deck. It likes full sun and not much water.

It was very neglected and almost dead when they got it. It looks a lot better now. I will pass on the need for more sun. Thanks everyone.

It should be given an all-over haircut, then introduced to more light gradually. It is a plant that will thrive in the full outdoor sun, even in the summer.

According to my "Plant Snap" app, it is a Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys).

I agree with Rhizo_1 about the haircut, but I wouldn't do it until the spring. Over the winter, give it a bit more light and a mist once in a while. No fertilizer. It's still recovering and shouldn't be forced into growth right now. By spring, it will be well-rested and ready to grow, so a pruning and a bit of fertilizer will revive it then.

Debby, not even close! That app must have some issues.

Yeah, I know. I own a huge Wandering Jew. lol

Definitely not the "Wandering Jew" I am used to. It doesn't even appear to be a vine to my eye.
