# Is my crinkle leaf plant etiolating or is it another species growing…

Is my crinkle leaf plant etiolating or is it another species growing there?

I received this crinkle leaf plant from a friend and I just put it under a grow light because it was elongated. But this branch looks completely different and I don’t know if I should remove it.

Those are different plants. The one in the second photo is etiolated yes

Yes. I did some more research. It is a kalanchoe. I dont know where this came from, because my friend had no kalanchoes. But I plucked it off
