    It looks like etoliation. It may need more light. Plants tend to do this and appear leggy when they're not getting a sufficient amount of sunlight. You can always get a growlight if you don't have a bright enough window :)

    Hi, The leafless tendrils on your plant looks like inflorescens and indicates that your plant is actually a Peperomia and not a Portulacaria afra. ☺️

      I’m glad to hear that you’ve found the correct plant ☺️ I also agree with killertofu that you should double check if your plant gets a proper amount of light.

    Definitely looks like peperomia flowers to me! Maybe a smidge more light so she doesn’t get any leggier, but those long tendrils will eventually fall off and she’ll keep on growing :)
