    Default What kind of plant is this?

    Found this plant in my yard today. Was wanting to know what it was and how it would do in an enclosure?

    Looks like common purslane, it's a weed. It has invaded my garden, it spreads quickly. Check my thread on here, apparently it does not do well in wet substrate.

    Supposedly, it's edible, but I am not that brave to try it.

    I looked up purslane and even baby purslane. Can't find any pics that look like this. This plant is purple.
