    I think this is a jade type plant and have taken it to several garden centers and greenhouses but no one knows what it is for sure. the leaves are similar to jade only soft and slightly fuzzy, the plant gives off a light lemon scent when brushed against or rubbed . It is easy to propagate you just take and stick a leaf or stem with one or more leaves in soil and away it goes. If you don't pinch off it grows tall losing bottom leaves and looking tree like (like a jade) It is a wonderful soothing plant and i would love to know exactly what it is. Thank you

    It does look a lot like the Plectranthus tomentosa or vicks plant but the leaves are rounder and the smell is better, but I think you are closer to what it is than anyone else I have talked to
