Does anyone know what this is? My grandma gave me a cutting and it just keeps growing. I thought it was some type of jade plant but I’m oblivious.

You’re welcome!

It likes to dry out somewhat. I use the ‘taco test’/pot weight to determine when mine needs water. Gently fold the leaves, of they fold easily then water. If they still have some resistance then they don’t need water.

They also need a lot of light. Mine get a few hours of morning sun. More sun will give you stronger stems so that they will stand up better. Just so happens I was watering mine when I read this. Mine is the variegated version. They easily propagate with stem cuttings.
