Help me identify this plant please 😊 This is growing in my full shade garden along my fence. You can see neighbours jungle behind fence. 😳 but it is good for the birds 👍🏻🐧. This is the fence I would like to cover. It could be a succulent? The flower is tiny, about 2cm long. #plantid-succulent #plantid #shade

Thank you very much Bryan. I have 3 stems about 50cm tall... bare 3/4 of the way up. Can I do anything to make it have more stems? 🌵🌱@succulentandfriends

50 cm is very long u can cut in half. Let the cut dry for a week. Then dip in soil.

Thank you. When you say "dip", do you mean plant? @succulentandfriends

Usually succulent and cacti mix with course sand or perlite added so it is free draining 😊
