Are these strings different? One is much larger pearls

There are various strings of pearls and dolphins and beads (now Curio spp.) but the first plant is the form I recognize for C. rowleyanus. The second plant is possibly a variant of that species with extra-chunky leaves, or maybe a hybrid between it and a larger-leafed species. Don't know. I would expect it to have the same white, fragrant flowers, though.

The first plant looks like it could use a lot more light.

Thank you!! I had noticed it was getting a little leggy actually and moved it to a sunnier spot.
See below: leg


Should the ends without pearls be trimmed? See below



And one other thing: are these longer brown tendrils roots???

Thanks!!

Feel free to prune that plant as much as you like. It will eagerly branch and resume growth if it is doing well. At some level a periodic snipping of the tips can actually improve the appearance of the plant, because it becomes more bushy around the edges.

Yes, maybe. I doubt they will go very far.
