This may be natures way of multiplying.The stems wither and the tips fall to the ground when they are mature enough to take root in the surrounding soil.
Do they come from an area which has very damp soil ?
They do look very lush on the fridge/freezer :))

I've got to grow these again...when I was first married I always had these all over the house.

I would imagine that in their native habitat they were a ground cover plant, probably in a forest setting. They can root at every leaf node which makes them very easy to propagate. They can with stand long periods of dryness but rot rather quickly if the compost is too moist.

I've just looked up this in my RHS A-Z Gardening Encyclopaedia & it does say they originate in woodland but also from scrub as well as disturbed soil. They are fro the Americas. It appears that there are frost hardy species as well as tender ones.

I've always known of hardy species that can grow in the garden but they are tufted types not trailing. I've seen them but have never grown them.

The T.Zebrina I grow in the kitchen I don't remember if they have ever flowered but I've grown plenty of other varieties in Spain & they have produced 3 petalled flowers.

I think they look stunning in that position. Can you open the fridge door without them trying to climb in?

I have one of these and it's gon like the ones in your photo. I'll have to take cuttings.
I've noticed sometimes tiny mauve flowers come on it.
I still think of it as Zebrina pendula which I saw it named in a book many years ago.

WF, yes I can open the fridge door as the plants only grow down the one side that isn't against a wall. Mind you some of the stems do try to get in through the door & I have to push them back. On the odd occasion a stem will fall down over the door & my wife catches it in the door. Sometimes it squashes the stem other times I get to rescue it before that happens.
