Wondering if anyone can help me identify this plant. App says it’s a Cobweb House Leak. Pretty sure it’s not.

My best guess would be a type of annacampseros. Spelling? But I’ve never seen one trail like that. What is the light situation for this plant? Does it get any direct sun because some of these plants require sun. I’m just thinking thru this and wondering why the long trailing.

Thanks for the help Phil. I bought it off Facebook Marketplace yesterday, so I’m not sure of the light situation. The description said it was a Anacampseros Rufescens, but the images I’ve seen look nothing like it either. I guess the description could be right. Just really leggy.

This is my Rufescens. Not leggy at all. That’s why it didn’t quite make sense. This plant requires a lot of light. And then stresses into a beautiful burgundy color. The green in my plant is brand new growth that has not stressed yet.

Anacampseros filamentosa (commonly known as the Thready Anacampseros)

Awesome! Looks like the winner. Thank you

Google lens is amazing and free and does far better than any plant identifier I have ever used. Even the paid ones.

#### Kit replied on 2026-08-22

I tried that as well, it just looks so odd I wasn’t sure what to believe. Just needed some confirmation from someone smarter than me. Hahaha

#### AcesHigh replied on 2026-08-22

When I looked at it in Google lens, they had like 2 or 3 pics that looked really close to yours. So you’re good! Especially that another person(Phil) felt the same way confirms all of our suspicions
