Perhaps Senecio jacobsenii?

I don't know if elephant eat it :) - maybe you are thinking of 'elephant bush', that is common name for Portulacaria afra (different plant).

It's not Senecio from the pictures I see. It's very delicate. I Have a plant that is similar, it's the one called elephant bush.

It may not be Senecio, but it isn't Portulacaria afra (elephant bush). Unless there is some other plant going by that common name? - could you post a photo of it? Portulacaria afra has different growth pattern, small leaves and sturdier, reddish stems.

Did your plant ever bloomed? If so, do you have photo of the flowers? That would help to ID it. Here is one of the photos from web with a bloom (I do not have that plant):

Most definitely not a Portulacaria afra. The leaves look different

I believe what Nancy was saying is that she *also* has a plant she believes is the Portulacaria afra, so she knows *this* plant in question isn't the same :) I have no idea what it is but I had to barge in and see if I could clarify that LoL

Looks like senecio jacobsenii "trailing jade." It turns purple in direct sun.

I do not think it is a trailing jade, the leaves are very small and delicate. It has never bloomed.

I agree with Martin that it is a dischidia.

Yes I believe too it is a Dischidia. I looked up the Exotic Angel plants and since Lowes carries them , I'm sure that's what it is. I would love another one but have never seen this plant there again. I might try to propagate it. Never tried before. Newly retired , new hobbies!

You can propagate them by cuttings. I planted mine from an inch long branch with four leaves on it.

I will agree with Dischidia,it may also be a Hoya.

Don't think it's a Hoya, I too think Dischidia.

See, I think it looks like a kinda purslane, but it's probably not...

I just realized that Martin posted name Dischidia well before I did - for some reason, I never saw his post. So sorry Martin, didn't mean to ignore your ID! :) I usually read all posts to make sure I am not saying same thing - or at least acknowledge person that already posted what I am agreeing with...

Sorry to you Rina-- did not see you mentioned dischidia at the end of one of your posts or I would have said I agree with Martin and Rina! :)

NP odyssey! Martin knew that plant, I was just guessing :)

Hey all!

Close, but our growers tell me it's Isabella peperomia (Peperomia hoffmanii). Sorry if it didn't have a tag!

Thanks Justin , I would love to have another one!

I wish I had one handy to be able to send!

:-)

I really think the only way to confirm it is wait for till it blooms, then you can compare the flowers with Dischidia or Peperomia.

Sorry, I still think Dischidia.

Hi Justin,

I appreciate you trying but take a look at this from Exotic Angel's own site: this pic doesn't match the description. Take a look:Isabella Peperomia

Peperomia hoffmanii

Isabella shows off tiny leaves and a tight habit, making it a great groundcover for taller houseplants or a wonderful hanging basket plant.

I looked at the other EA Peps & did't see a better match.

I'm w/ Martin on this. I'll believe it when I see Peperomia blooms, otherwise it's a Dischidia to me!

Just for comparison purposes, here are some quick pictures of my EA Dischidia Geri:

Hey all,

In this case, I'm afraid I'm over my head --- I've not had the opportunity to grow either Peperomia hoffmanii (I've not actually seen this plant in real life yet, only in photos) or our Dischidias before, so I'm going purely on what our growers told me. If the growers did make a mistake, I apologize on their behalf (and I personally apologize for being the relayer of misinformation).

Thanks for your understanding!

Flowers would allow for a positive ID, but at the moment I am leaning towards Peperomia, but Peperomia japonica. I looked again carefully at my own Dischidia, and the growing tips are quite different on OP's pictures. The growing tips are little whorls of leaves. In contrast, my Dischidia's growing tip is just one teeny, tiny leaf.

I also think Karen makes a good point that P. hofmanii leaves are much smaller than OP's plant.

Doesn't Peperomia have red stems? My plants stems are green. I'm leaning towards Peperomia Hoffmani . My plants has never bloomed but it is still a young plant , who knows.

have you tried seeing if its sap contains latex?

No, not all Peperomia have red stems. Some do, but not all.

It is for sure Peperomia japonica. I have this plant.

None Dischidia nor Hoya has 4 leaves on each node.
