String of buttons and other common names.

“Common names: String of buttons, necklace vine, pagoda plant, and stacked crassula.  
Scientific name: Crassula perforata.”

And it requires a lot of bright light, such as direct morning sun and strong grow lights. It props very easily with stem cuttings. Pic is slightly different version of your plant. It’s called a Jade necklace. I just planted stem cuttings into succulent soil and they all rooted in a couple weeks.
