It's a Crassula. Possibly... Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)

It also looks like some type of Kalanchoe.

Kalanchoe scapigera is one that could have a similar growth pattern. Shrug!

Brings this to mind for me: Silver Jade (Crassula arborescens)

It does kinda look like that. The leaves were up when I first bought it. Thanks!

Happy to suggest. I'd love to see more pics too, if you want to show them. Ready to Oooh and Aaah over it! ;)

If the leaves are relaxing, you can deduce it's in less light than its' previous home/location. At your latitude, I'd aim for the most possible exposure inside. That may describe where it is now. If not, try moving it closer to the nearest window, or to a S window soon. For a S window, the amount of direct sun coming through it is on the increase at this time of year in the N hemisphere, as the angle of it goes increasingly lower on the horizon until winter solstice, when things begin to swing the other way. Good news for those of us who have plants inside for winter! ;)

Thank you, @purpleinopp! I have it right next to a window most of time, so it gets sun during the afternoon. However, there probably isn't enough sun. Anyway, here are more pics.

The gorgeous red edge is still apparent on the new leaves, and very much from the last angle on the older leaf. Oooh, aaaah, for sure! From the side, IDK that I would still say relaxed. Either way, looks fine, good!

It's not easy for any of us who are tropical wannabes, at least in regard to plants, in temperate locations to finagle the ideal amount of light. No doubt there will be some cases of a plant that would have liked more light from some of my plants when the seasons change. Still love 'em just the same. We can only do what we can do.

We succulent lovers should really move down to the tropics. Hilarious!

Oooh, and Aaaah is right!!! Thumbs up Love the red edging on even the youngest leaves. I agree with Tiffany, I'm also leaning more to the Silver Jade. I think it really looks like a better match.
Pretty little plant there! Thumbs up

Looks like Cotyledon. Pretty orange or coral bell-shaped flowers.

Flowers will provide confirmation of the ID, one way or another. The Cotyledons here flower once a year (different times though for very similar looking plants) and do well in day-long sun. Their leaves tend to be longer and more paddle shaped than C. arborescens (which might explain the Kalanchoe suggestion). There can be quite a bit of variation in this aspect as a number of interesting cultivars have been selected. With time the differences become more apparent... the plant in the picture is still quite young. I would recommend providing much more light for a more compact form and better flowering down the road.

The entries for both plants have a decent collection of pics from various peeps/plants that one can see are 2 different plants after seeing the amalgam of just foliage pics of both, but having trouble picking or describing a feature that lets my eyes know that.

Closeups of the Crassula show pores (?) that look like dots on the foliage. The Cotyledon pics didn't show that. Is that a diagnostic feature, or happenstance among the particular pics collected for both here so far?

That is interesting. Could be a useful feature, maybe the thing that tells you Crassula. I honestly don't know. I need to go look at the plants around here and see if I can sort that out.
