My grandma asked me to ID this plant but I honestly looked and have no idea. I can’t find any plant with the right leaf shape and coloring.

I did a search and it says it's a Kalanchoe pinnata or Kalanchoe blossfeldiana

I think you right, thank you!!

It looks like one of mine. It’s definitely a Kalanchoe. The closest that I could identify mine with was a Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Madagascar Widow's Thrill'

Btw it turns a bit red/pink depending on how much lighting it gets. So that might be why you couldn’t find one that has the same color

Ok thank you so much!

its a Kalanchoe Pinnata! My husband is cuban and in Cuba they call it Siempre Viva (tree of life)! They believe it to actually have a lot of medicinal healing! We have one and it grows like a weed! You can even plant a leaf flat and cover with a tiny bit of soil and it will produce new plants from the leaf! In our home this plant is a good omen! Love that you have one!
