A friend passed along this plant to me; neither of us know what it is. I believe it's a succulent but that's about all I can tell. Any ideas?Click the image for an enlarged view.

Looks like a kalancho. icanfindroom February 06, 2009

That was my first thought but I didn't know if they would grow like that. The leaves do look the same. jcoakley February 06, 2009

Hm, I looked that up in PlantFiles and I don't see anything under 'kalanchoe' that looks like my plant, at least nothing that trails like it. sallyg February 06, 2009

I agree with the kalanchoe idea, and I think it may be trailing due to having insufficient light sometime in its life. Kalpavriksha February 07, 2009

It's photo-periodic like a Christmas cactus. If kept in the dark from sunset-sunrise it may flower. Ours are flowering down here now. Lily_love February 07, 2009

I would bet that's a jade plant that became "leggy" due to lacks of light, and possibly other nutrients. icanfindroom February 07, 2009

I thought of that as well, however if you look at the close up some of the leaves have the Kalanchoe type edge. jcoakley February 08, 2009

I have it in a very bright room with two big skylights now, so hopefully it will thrive and start to look like it's supposed to. Thanks everyone!
