# The app keeps identifying this as a wax plant but the images don’t…

_Posted by plantgal on 2024-02-23_

The app keeps identifying this as a wax plant but the images don’t look similar at all.

Inherited this plant from a past roommate (I have never repotted it) and it’s grown much longer in the last 8 months since being next to a part sun part shade window and watered every so often when the soil is dry at the top.

Any one happen to know what family/species this is?
