# Could i get some verification on this plant? Trying to identify it…

_Posted by Alex :\] on 2025-09-27_

Could i get some verification on this plant? Trying to identify it myself has led me to thinking this is an elephant bush but the stem is not red and it’s not as sturdy as the typical elephant bush. It’s a couple months old and hasn’t grown much on the elephant bush watering schedule. Let me know why you guys think🧐

If the stems reddish then yes it is Elephant Bush. I have one and was told it was a jade plant.

Maybe some kind of peperomia?

I think it looks like an elephant bush. But im kinda semi-new to plants/succulents, so im not 100%. Its really pretty though!

Why are my leaves dropping off my elephant bush plant?

It looks like an elephant bush 🐘🪾but also looks leggy possibly not getting enough hours of sun exposure so it’s trailing…direct sun exposure changes stress related pigmentation that makes it look more reddish. Or it might just be a green stem variant
