What is this...?

Spuds · Nov 18, 2011

So I got this little guy from a nursery down the road, also got my Hoya from them.

I have no idea what it is, the guy said something about money tree or something like that. Looking for something a bit more realistic.

Anyone?

Very interesting. No idea, but fistful of money IS what comes to mind.

This seems to be a bit too fleshy on the leaves side. The leaves on this plant are very thing.

It's a plant.

Okay - I know that's not what you're looking for! I do like the leafiness, though, and hope someone here knows what it is.

That does look more like it. We shall see as soon as this little guy gets a bit bigger, but I think so far you're the winner. :woohoo:

Thanks man.

My dog got hold of it and chewed it a bit, so not looking so great right now. Really hope it survives.
