Hey lizheaemma, Welcome to The Garden Helpers Forum!! Glad to have you on board!
That's a very spinally jade plant... They are VERY easy to take care of!!!
Looks like where ever it was, wasn't very good lighting....
I'm pretty sure some other gardeners will be along to tell you more about the Jade plant. and tell you how to take care of it!!! So, stick around for some of the gardeners, they'll be along in no time!!!!
How many other plants do you have???

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Sure looks like a JADE to me!! Hang tight a bit!! There's lot's of houseplant gardeners here. Will Creed usually stops by every so many days. Bill, Tom R's a good guesser, Boxmonkey, Jiffy, Loz, Papito, Nikkal, anyone of them, will be on their way through.. Maybe they can pin~point it for you better....

Can you post pictures of your other Jade's???? Just curious..????
75 house plants, YIKES!! You have alot!!! What all do you have>>????
Limey is from that area too!!
What do you mean it "it drops plantlets"??? The leaves fall off and they grow in the dirt???

Still looks and sounds like a Jade. Jades do flower under the right lighting conditions.
I'm not sure what you mean by drops plantlets, but you can easily grow jades from cuttings, so if a piece of your jade fell into the dirt it would possibly turn into another plant.
However the leaves of your plant look a lot thinner than those of any Jade I've seen...

Actually this might be a member of the jade family but I don't think that this is Crassula argentea, I have a few of these will take pics later. I also have a trumpet jade!(Crassula portulacea) He's just a little guy yet but one of my favorites!
As for the above plant it flowers on long runner type things 8 to 10" long and the flowers are pink once the flowers have finished it starts to grow tiny little leaf groupings 2 or 4 like you see on the mature plant, but then once they get to the size of about an inch this new plant( stem and couple of leaves falls) and starts it's own plant. These long runner type thing are great fun as they always go to the light source, if you turn the plant around do the flowers are away form the light they turn themselves around in less then an hour, it reminds me of the hand of a clock. The way that the flowers grow remind me of a strepto-carpella. Thank your help is appreciated!

The one you called a red plant I believe is a croton....at least that is what I have and I.D. as! The pix I found has a lot of yellow in it but they are red as well.

I, for one, love looking at your pictures - vicarious thrills you know! Someday, soon I hope, I'm going to get a digital camera - then I'll be in trouble.
I actually know a man who has a jade plant like the one boxmonkey posted, only this guy's is even bigger! He has it in his front livingroom window - WOW!!! When I went gaga over it, he presented me with a cutting from it that he was growing in his greenhouse - it was about 10 inches tall in a 4 inch pot with a 1 inch stem. I replanted it, it lost some leaves, but 2 years later it is in a 10 inch pot and about 2 1/2 feet tall and 2 1/2 feet wide. It is gorgeous and looks very much like a large bonsai. It hasn't flowered yet, but I have my fingers crossed

I don't know what your 1st mystery plant is though ....sorry! Catlover
100% on the last Id! This one? I'v seen this pic before and my plant is really similar and this might just be it but, my leaves are actually corkscrewed and they have this barb thing on the top of the leaves.. This also might be something that they grow out of your link is to a mature plant and mine isn't to old?
This is fun! Thanx guy's for all of the input so far!

I agree that your mystery plant appears to be in the Crassula family. Below is a site that has photos of all the different Crassulas. Perhaps you can find yours there.
