I got this cutting from a hotel lobby today. I’m getting mixed answers as to what it is. My searches have said Watercress and Flaming Katy. What does everyone think?

Definitely a kalanchoe, but idk if it’s a flaming katy exactly. Kalanchoes aren’t my specialty, but the leaves definitely suggest it is one. Hope this helps 😊

I should start stealing cuttings from hotel lobbies!!! 🤪 I’m in Orlando, TONS of options…I’m sure!

It’s hilarious when you ask the front desk! They look at you weird then say yeah sure. Then I borrow their scissors and sanitize them🤣🤣

This is my kalanchoe, and the leaves look very similar

This is Ember, my Kalanchoe, as she looked when I first potted her…
