Could someone help with identification please? Planta is saying it’s an Airplane or Propeller plant but I’m not sure that is quite right? Thanks!

    Looks like a crassula to me. Very similar to my Pondo Cliff Crassula. But I am no expert!! I could be wrong lol

    Could also be a Crassula perfoliata.

      I agree it’s this, but the leaves are dying, I couldn’t get mine back once it dropped so I’m using the leaves to propagate

      right, the sad leaves here definitely won’t bounce back, but it can keep growing right from the top with the right conditions. all is not lost here, i don’t think

    The succulent in the image appears to be a type of **Kalanchoe tomentosa**, commonly known as the **Panda Plant** or **Chocolate Soldier**. This succulent is known for its thick, fleshy leaves that are covered with tiny hairs, giving them a velvety texture. The edges of the leaves often have a brownish or reddish outline, which can resemble the markings of a panda or chocolate. **Care Tips for Kalanchoe tomentosa:** - **Light:** Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct light. - **Water:** Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. - **Soil:** Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil. - **Temperature:** Thrives in warm temperatures and should be kept away from cold drafts. With proper care, this plant can thrive and add a lovely touch to any indoor plant collection.

      Can you post another angle and maybe include the base of it?

      We already know what it is though! It’s a Crassula and most likely the garnet lotus variety

    The fuzzy leaves give off kalanchoe vibes but it’s not a tomentosa. Possibly it’s a farinacea (dusty kalanchoe).
