I've absolutely no idea of the plant's name. It stands 14cm high, has
pink
flowers, is bushy, with thick squidgy leaves that are oval with very
pronounced scallops around the edge - and it couldn't be more healthy.

A few weeks ago I stuck one leaf taken from this 6-month old houseplant
into
some new indoor soil in a vain hope that a new one would grow. There's
good
news and bad because the leaf developed a huge root system beneath the
soil
but all you can see above the soil is the original leaf and nothing
else.
Am I being impatient and in another few weeks a lovely new stem will
shoot
up?

Not to a text-only ng like this one. Many (most) servers would simply
reject it.
You could post to one of the binary ng's and direct us to there by a note in
this ng.

I meant of course using a suitable facility not to this group. But
thanks for pointing it out Franz. Not sure why you clipped my post tho?
