    Highly uninformed and underwhelming guess .. Kalanchoe of some sort maybe?

    There are a lot of different Kalanchoes, but that was the first thing that came to mind for me. From the picture I can't see whether the foliage is smooth or furry. If furry then maybe Kalanchoe tomentosa. If not a different Kalanchoe is most likely.

    Kalanchoe tomentosa gets my vote too. It often has slight maroon edging on the leaves, hard to tell from the photo. Then again, there are a lot of Kalanchoe varieties out there...

    Your plant looks nice and healthy @madpenguin :)

    It is definitely not Kalanchoe tomentosa! (I already have that) :smile:
    It has smooth leaves with a 'floury' coating.
    Kalanchoe / Cotyledon / Adromischus?

    So many succulents look similar.
    Added a couple more photos.

      The 'leaves' look rather fat/chunky. An intergeneric hybrid (possibly involving Pachystachys) of some sort?
