I’m a bit of a novice but looks like “desert cabbage” to me. Which does well when potted in standard succulent mix and prefers to be placed in full sun/bright indirect light. Standard succulent care regarding watering when the soil has completely dried out; and if you’d like fertilize monthly during the warmer months in your area.

What does the sticker on the side say? They are not always accurate but should give us a good place to start.😊
