Hello. I’m trying to identify this plant. Kinda looks like a few different things but I can’t narrow it down to one. I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Karen.

Kalanchoe
by: Jacki Cammidge, Certified Horticulturist

This is some kind of Kalanchoe, the closest one I could find is Kalanchoe sexangularis. There seems to be quite a lot of variation in the leaf shape, but they all are like a tower with alternating leaves going all the way up.

When stressed (like in hot sunny areas) they turn red. They will also do this in the fall, if you’re in an area where they are hardy enough to stay outdoors for the winter.
