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.

My two apps identify them as both the flaming Katy and a Kalanchoe; which was what confused me in the first place. Thank you friends for helping me

Both pieces have new growth with one being propagated in water and the other in its original soil (that looks like tired dirt).

I think they are trailing jade. They are leggy and need better light. I will send you a pic of mine tomorrow. I can also send my kalanchoe pics. Others might be correct!

### RSavor commented on 2026-08-27

Now I’m changing my mind and thinking kalanchoe…maybe I need sleep to better identify!

Kalanchoes with baby on the right.

The jade plant leaves are thicker even when smaller.
