This plant has thick waxy leaves and grows fairly rapidly, I've had it for a while but have had no luck identifying it. Thanks!
I don't think this is Crassula ovata. The leaves on this plant are rounded and have long petioles. Also, they appear to be much thinner.
The paired leaves would rule out Peperomia obtusifolia. I lean toward saying it's a light-starved Crassula of some kind too, though that's mostly because I come up with any other plausible guess.
I originally took a sprout off of an older plant. The older plant does not look like a jade plant it grows more downwards and vine-like. It is not light deprived that's just the way it looks. I also water it a good amount, which leads me to believe it is not a succulent.
I had one before. I do not know what it is but I would agree that it is not a type of succulant. It did not require the type of care that a succulant does. When I had mine I always wanted to know what it was. I started it from a clipping from a co-worker. No one at work could tell me what it was. When I saw your picture I was excited that I might finnaly get to know what the plant was.
Does the plant produce any flowers, have any fragrance, exude sap when broken, or have other attributes that may help with its identification?
My plant did not flower but it did release some type of sap. There were quite a few of these plants around the office where i used to work and I did not see the plants flower. I was able to propagate it by taking a cutting and putting it in water. I don't know if that helps. I know that not all plants can be propagated that way.
That's how I got my plant too. My mom originally took a sprout off of a friend's plant in the 70s and she sprouted a few for me in water before we planted them in soil. Here's a picture of her 30 year old plant
Look at the leaf on the left side of the latest photo about 1/3 way down, the one with the window frame in the background. It appears to have a slightly jagged margin. Could this be a species of Kalanchoe? Kalanchoe and Crassula are both in the same family, Crassulaceae. Compare with K. uniflora.
Yes some of the bigger leaves do get jagged. The problem is the plant never flowers which is why I don't know if the uniflora and rotundifolia would be accurate guesses. I appreciate everyone helping me out though! I'm very curious to find out the type of plant because it's such an interesting one.
Perhaps if you were to cultivate the plant as a kalanchoe it would produce flowers. Might be worth a try if you have one that can be used as a test specimen. Are there any hairs on the leaves or stems?
