Plant ID needed...

I received this as a cutting and haven't the slightest clue what it may be. It trails across the ground, but also grows upright.

Any help would truly be appreciated.

Oh yeah, it is the big leaved plant I need an ID on and not the Selaginella (which is barely in the photo, but just in case).

Pellonia repens

No problem

I've got about 6 pots of it growing around the house and in the greenhouse, it's a nice plant.

What would you say is the minimum size tank to grow it in? I was thinking of using it in one of my smaller gecko enclosures.

You could do it in a ten gallon, it's not an overly fast grower. Might need to prune it every few months.
