Is that a single plant? It looks like it has two completely different types of leaves.

i’m not sure, it’s three separate plants all in the same propagation container. the leaves feel the same as each other and are the same color so i figured they my be the same plant.

From the photo it looks like two different plants. My plant identifier indicates the one on the left is probably a lipstick plant. The cactus on the right could be a climbing cactus or Dutchman’s pipe cactus. I’m not seeing a third plant to make a guess on what it is.
