    This little guy has grown so tall recently and I'm not sure what to do with him. Does anybody have any suggestions?

      Hi! Thanks for your reply. However I'm sure it's not a Jade Plant, I have one of those as well, but this one is more like a type of Graptopetalum (thanks Google haha). I'm just not sure what to do with it as it's grown so tall and is bending over a lot.

      I agree, dont think its a money plant.
      Does it have a white chalky covering that marks if touched?

      I tend to think it needs more direct light, which is why its growing out of character, or kind of lop sided and elongated.

        It isn't a Jade Plant. It looks like a Pachyphytum. It needs more light.
