    I bought this very recently from a 'bargain corner' in a GC, but there was no label and no staff available to tell me what it is. It's very small, but rather lovely.

    The photo is a little out of focus, but it looks like a sedum of some type?

      Agree with @BobTG , looks like a Sedum. If the leaves are thick-ish, succulent-ish kind that is. If it is a Sedum it'll enjoy very good drainage and a sunny spot.

      Excellent, healthy looking plant and from a bargain corner too! :)

      It's out of focus so difficult to see properly, but it looks very much like my Pilea depressa.

      I'll get a better photo tomorrow and post it. It's really tiny. I'll try and photo it next to a ruler.

      Here's a better photo (in focus) and as you can see from the ruler, it's just 3 inches from the base of the pot to the top of the plant. IMG20240904112053.jpg

        Yes I would say Pilea depressa, it looks exactly like mine.
