I think it is maybe some kind of echeveria, but it’s not supposed to look like that. It looks like it isn’t getting enough light, and it is etiolating. That’s why it’s getting super fast growth—it’s trying to reach and find more light. The leaves are supposed to point up, not down, and be packed tightly together. Echeverias can be difficult in that they require intense sunlight for many hours a day, which is difficult if you keep it indoors. If you can get a grow light and get it much stronger light, it will start growing very differently than it is now, and then you could identify it better.
Hmmm... Google lens is giving some sort of haworthia.. but I dunno... maybe if it was a leggy haworthia(which I'm DYING to get)?
I'm stumped.
@ManyLime right? It's so weird. And just within the last 2 months the leaves have started pointing down like in the picture. Before they were more up. However, the plant seems happy and started growing insanely fast in the last month! I've had it for over here and it never put out any new leaves but within the past month it's put out that offshoot at the top that actually had three leaves but I knocked off one by accident
Very strange. I so wish plants could talk lol
