Does anyone recognize this plant? My mother received this from a friend who passed away and it was dying, mom asked me to try and resurrect it. I have had it a couple of weeks and although it is getting healthier I have yet to identify it.

Sensitive to??

### Cindy Branson commented on 2026-08-26

Yes, it does not seem to need much water

#### kylea’s plants replied on 2026-08-26

it likes to be watered a certain way and if it gets watered “to much” or “to little” it will go bald

Looks like my kalanchoe. I got it as a cutting so it’s still small.

I have a piece that fell off the day my mom asked me to take it, it is in water as pictured and the other portion is still in its original pot where it was totally wilted and dry when I got it.

### Cindy Branson commented on 2026-08-26

I would love to have more care information

### Jamie commented on 2026-08-26

It looks like a Flaming Katy

### Rebecca commented on 2026-08-26

Kalanchoe

It’s hard to tell the difference in photos. But it’s either a Flaming Katy (right) or a Trailing Jade (left). I have both.
