How do I care for this plant and what is it?

When we moved into our new home this was in the ground in semi shade and looked dried out. A small purple flower bloomed on it, so I hoped it would improve, although I didn't know what it was. Just before I as going to take a picture, little Emma, the kitty from next door laid on it and killed the bloom. So, I have no reference for help on identification. I transplanted it into a pot. Looks healthier. So, can you tell me what it is and the best way to care for it, or is it beyond help. Thank you.
It is a variety of succulent. I don't do apps on my phone, but they have some that you can take a photo and the app will find you matches.
Water as needed and it will grow. Shield from frost or freeze. I have something similar and have no idea what the name is either. Pretty when it blooms though. Grows like a weed for me.
I don't what it is, except I think it is a succulent and needs light and no overwatering.
Not sure what it is but have good drainage good light not direct and very little water
there is one app you can try it,s called plant snap on your phone or tablet
It's in a small pot, just take it to your local nursery and ask them for advice. I do it all the time here in Tucson.
Excellent, I really hadn’t thought of that. Dah!
I think it's a succulent, of some kind. Looks to me like it'll recover nicely. Just don't overwater it?
It's a stapelia.
Full sun, very little water 🏜️
It is family to the cactus and I have heard a lot of people call it the donkey tail but I don’t believe that to be the real name
A Succulent. Buy or borrow a book on them, to find out more info.
