    A friend gave me this pot of plants, they are in bad shape, too much hot sun I think. I am repotting and would like to know the rules for this plant.

    Looks as though your plants may be some sort of begonia but I don't know which one.

    It is hard to tell but could it be a Saxifraga stolonifera (Mother of Thousands or Strawberry begonia)? They send out runners with baby plants on them like strawberry plants.
