Have you tried removing it from the pot to see if it has any roots? I may just be cuttings stuck into soil... It looks as though it may be something in the pepperomia family to me, but I am sure I'm way off.

yes i have seen the roots i repotted it from the arginal pot and thats how it grows all stick like ill get a pic of the mothor plant when i get a chace it looks much more awesome

it's an Euphorbiaceae, but I do not remember which one. If you cut a leaf you will have it producing some "milk" (take care, it's poisonous but will not kiil you, however can produce dermatitis if in touch with your skin!)

im not so sure about the Euphorbiaceae everything i look at under that name didnt look very close and no milk but ill do more research along that line when im off of work

here is a pic of the mothor plant flourshing niceley
ever so sorry about the qualitly it was take by my cell phone but you should get the idea of how it grows thanx for all the help guys

I'm sticking with my original thought that it is a Peperomia; perhaps P. acuminata (though on second thought it's semi-variegated and yours does not seem to be) or P. trinervula
Try going here The Peperomia Page for some pics & culture notes.

It sort of looks like a Pedilanthus Tithymaloides, commonly known as a Devils Backbone or Jacobs Ladder. They are a succulent shrub. They're great looking plants and will exhibit a blush of pink on their leaves if exposed to more sunlight. They're leaves can be variegated or plain green and their stems have a zigzag appearance.

as informtioan, Euphorbiaceae is on of the most diverse families of the plant kingdom. You can have very little plants resembling grass, or plants that resemble Catus or even large (and I mean very large) trees like Hura crepitans What I think is weird is that your plant produces no milk sap...

My mom grew a few healthy specimens of this type, but I never saw them flower. Even without, the unique stems, lovely foliage, and blush were very satisfying to the eye.
