Please help me name this plant. I've had it about 2 years now and I love it. It follows the sun really quickly. It drops it's leaves if it is unhappy. Usually having to do with moving. It puts out hairy white roots in the summer even though it's inside. And now it is putting out a bunch of buds. None have bloomed though.

I sure wish it were the Crassula coccinea. That is one gorgeous plant. But no, this one crawls along the ground most of the time. Although it will occassionally rear up to get more sun if it feels it is being short changed lol. Some times I have a hard time remembering it is a plant rather than a catepillar because it responds to changes in its environment quickly for a plant. New growth is so light a green as to appear cream colored. The tips will get dark pink sometimes. I'm not sure what causes it to do that yet. but I know that it does do it from time to time. Usually on older foliage. And this is the first time I've had buds so I can't tell you anything about the flower yet.
