My friend gifted me this plant a while ago but I’ve forgotten what it was. Does anyone have any idea?

Hi there! This kind of looks like a Portulacaria afra or “Elephant Bush,” but I’m not entirely sure!

I was thinking the same thing but wasn’t sure.😅 I guess two of us half sure kind of equals 100% confidence.🤪

Hahah I love your energy!! Exactly what I’m thinking 🤣

Thanks😄 What’s throwing me is that elephant bush usually (at least the ones I have) has pairs of leaves. Maybe this is a different variety…or just another plant entirely.🤪

I’m pretty sure this is a peperomia, it looks just like mine! I’ve never been able to identify the exact type, but the most similar I can find on this app is the Peperomia Glabella

Thanks I think this is it! I have an elephant bush along with this plant and the two plants are different. This one is more of a vine plant than a succulent.

You’re welcome!
