    My 10 month old ate a small piece leaf from this succulent and I need to know what the name of the plant is. Please respond if you know. Thanks!

    Possibly a Graptopetalum, or at least a related plant in family Crassulaceae. As far as I know these contain nothing worse than oxalic acid, which can give you indigestion, or kidney-stones if you eat plants rich in it for enough years!

    I would say Graptopetalum also (which would probably like more sun). I don't believe it is toxic.
