I rescued this from a little corner at the local nursery for .25 cents. I neglected to ask what it was or how to care for it. It started to bloom red flowers at the ends of the trails. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shannie

I am not going to be much help. The plant does not look familiar to me. Maybe if you had a clearer picture?
Welcome to ATP, you are gonna love it here!

Thanks, will see if I have a better one. Hopefully this is a better pic, and I already love it here

Maybe Kleinia petraea.

Hmmm to me it looks a lot like the horrible Portulaca (purslane).
There's some "nice ones" as I saw the other day at a nursery, for sale... the flowers were spent, but I could tell they were bigger, and nicer than on the weed I am trying to hard to get rid of.

Looks like Aptenia.

Baby Sunrose (Mesembryanthemum cordifolium)

Here are some Google images of it:

Hmm, from what I see, Aptenia has pointed leaves, these are round.
I still think it's some Purslane...

I think fix you may be right, checking out pics and info from everyone's replies (thank you much!), it resembles the Portulaca. I appreciate your time all, and "Thanks" again!

Compare to Senecio Jacobsenii.

And I meant to say hi but forgot after checking how to spell that. Hi!

Senecio jacobsenii is a synonym of Kleinia petraea, it does look like that to me apart from the slightly more rounded tops of the leaves. There are often variations in plants.

I liked it better when plants only had 1 botanical epithet. Thanks for the info!

Sorry to disagree again.
The last name offered, i checked pics, and i saw the flowers have long stems (not sure how to call those).
And this plant in particular, if you closely look at the first pic, blurry as it is, you can still see some seed capsules in the pointed shape of the portulaca (I am always angry when I find those, especially the already blasted ones, and all seeds scaterred).

It looks more like Portulaca to me too. I have P. grandiflora that has some more rounded leaves as well as pointed leaves on the same plant:



There's also P. oleracea that's considered a weed here in Florida:

Common Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Shannie! Come visit us on the OT Porch Swing in the Daylilies forum. Don't need to grow them, this is for us to flap our jaws with each other, so just jump on in.

Can you take a picture of the flowers?

When I saw the picture, my first thought was purslane.

Kinda looks like the Weeping Jade to me .. a picture of the flower would certainly help.

For comparison, here are some close up photo's of Portulaca oleracea that I pulled out of my lawn today; considered a weed down here in Florida.

I'm still with Kleinia petraea, the leaves shoot upwards from the stems where leaves on Portulaca oleracea tend to lay down more, the leaves on the latter also look more green than bluish with purple tints. P. oleracea shows stems branching from the main stems too, I can't see that on this plant.

The flower stem which can be seen at the lower left of the firs pic has a dead flower on it, not yet made seed, the flower stems on K. petraea are long.
