Can anyone tell me what this is? Planta tells me it’s a jade but I don’t think it is.

It’s an ice plant. They grow pretty quickly in fast draining potting mix. I have three, and they’ve grown like crazy in a year. Just be careful when you repot them because their root systems grow very long in a short period of time, and if you have to trim off some of the roots for the new pot, it can take them a bit to recover. I repotted all three of mine a few weeks ago. Two are doing great, but one of them isn’t quite there yet. 🤞🏼

I’m pretty confident that it’s an ice plant after looking it up.
