My wife got this plant from a friend who was moving but we have no idea what it is. All the plant identification apps canāt figure it out either. Iām pretty sure itās some type of succulent because of how thick the leaves are but thatās about it. We have two cats and just want to make sure itās not toxic to them and also how to care for the plant appropriately. If any experts know please help! Thanks!
kind of looks like some type of kalanchoe?
1 gilla Thanks Iāll start going through different types and see if I can find a match!

Iām stumped on what it is, but it doesnāt look like a kalanchoe to me. Is there any way for your wife to maybe reach out to the friend who previously owed it to ask what it is? In the meantime, Iād try putting it in a room with a door you can close to keep the cats out until you can determine the toxicity. Hope this helps.
1 gilla Yes we are doing that now until we figure it out. And Iāll see if my wife can check with her friend.

My first thought was an overwatered string of dolphins lol but Iām no expert

it looks like a flattening string of dolphins to me but it's hard to tell. when they don't get enough light, they flatten like this. are there any leaves that may look un-flattened, like a normal string of dolphins? if it is a string of dolphins, they are non-toxic :)
1 gilla Thanks! I had looked at that dolphin plant because it did look similar except the leaves but if they are usually supposed to be more curled then itās possible. Unfortunately all the leaves are more flat so I canāt confirm.
0 gillningar It does somewhat resemble a string of dolphins, but if it is a type of senecio, or string of dolphins, those are toxic to pets, including cats.

Could it be a spear head plant? Type of senecio.
1 gilla This does look similar as well. Iāll have to take a look at some more images and compare. Thank you!
