Hi. I’m looking to identify this plant. My Planta app said it is an elephant bush. I do not believe that is true as an elephant bush is a type of succulent. The leaves of this plant are very flat unlike other succulents that I have. Can anyone help me?.

It could be elephant bush. Here’s the ID for it to compare to your plant.

I have one and it’s a pilea silver sparkle and it looks exactly like that. They look very pretty in the sun
