Impulse buy help
So I impulsively bought this little guy and have no idea what he is I do love he’s a plant with like tattoos of plants on his but what genius species is he so I can learn more? Also any advice on how to judge pot size as he’swiggling out of his current home and he’s a lot more of a skinny vertical plant than I’m used to #SucculentSquad #CactusClique

Looks like a pickle plant that either wasn't getting enough light or wasn't rotated to allow for even lighting. But it doesn't mean it's outgrown its current pot, it just needs to be turned every few weeks so it straightens back up. Going with a bigger pot right now could lead to overwatering. If it keeps tipping over, a terracotta pot of the same size that's wider than it is tall is your best bet. The heavier pot will help anchor it, and terracotta is the recommended type of pot for succulents anyway since they're porous and help the soil dry out faster.
Place it somewhere it can get plenty of bright indirect light (to much direct, intense sun can burn it). Use a gritty, well-draining soil and only water when the soil is completely dried out (basically the same care as most succulents).

@stephonicle senecio stapeliiformis thank you! I’m gonna snip the shoot after it’s done flowering to propagate him
