Can anyone identify this plant?
How do I take care of it, light, water, etc. I've had it for one year but the longer runners break off. Thanks.

Creeping Charlie
Swedish ivy
Yes, I agree with judith bock, it's Swedish ivy.
Looks like a happy Creeping Charlie
It is commonly known as Swedish ivy...needs full sun less water and pinch back to make a fuller plant. Pinched off pieces can be started again. Dry the cut tip and then plant is damp soil with gentle sun until established. Easy care ...great in hanging baskets.
It will freeze to death outside in winter.
creeping charlie & swedish ivy are the same plant.
ps: it's neither swedish nor ivy!
bright indirect light,soil dry thoroughly then water well needs good drainage here's some info. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/swedish-ivy/swedish-ivy-care.htm
I think it's Swedish Ivy. The plant I've seen called Creeping Charlie is similar but is less shiny and has a slight fuzziness on the leaves
Thank you all...it came with no identification so your answers are appreciated.

Swedish ivy. Looks like it may be getting a bit too much water. Much more & leaves will start drying out around edges turning crispy. Really extreme over water will cause stems & leaves to get mushy & rotten. Let top 1/4 of soil to dry before watering. Likes sunlight, buy I rotated mine every month or so. Also when it flowers, pick or cut flowers, stems & all off. Otherwise plant will expend too much energy on blooms & not on leaves. Leaving it prone to becoming leggy instead of nice & full. I once had one in a greenhouse type room that was so dense & overflowing. It hung over 3 ft. down from the pot & was so dense you could have easily suspended a yard stick poked through hanging foliage. Enjoy, & I hope yours lives many years & grows to an impressive size. These are also extremely easy to take & start cuttings from to start new plants. Making it easy to create plants of most any size to fill in areas to decorate or pass along as gifts.
