Can anyone tell me what this plant is?

I'm not sure what kind of pot it should be in. Is it a hanging plant ? Also if I put it outside will the deer eat it ? It almost feels fake with plastic feeling leaves and it has cute little flowers a couple times a year. I'm thinking in the succulent family ?
IT LOOKS LIKE A SAD JADE PLANT.
Could be a very struggling jade plant. Can't really tell from the photo. Want a photo of some of mine?
🤣🤣🤣 I have seen them. They can be found on houseplantexpert.com if anywhere. They end up having thicker stems as they age.
Hi Booch6,
I don't have an answer to your question, but sometimes I just have to share something funny. I did a google image search for your plant using the picture you posted. Google says it's a "girl". LOL I literally started laughing out loud. I did download a pic of a jade plant so you could see if you think it matches.

Looks like it could be elephant bush
It reminds me of an old kalanchoe plant. They tend to lose all the older leaves and have undersized regrowth. I would try to take cuttings from the best of the small stems. You need about 6" of stem. Remove leaves from the bottom half and set the cutting in a small pot for 2 to 3 days so the cut end can callous over. Press potting soil into a pot and use a pencil to poke a hole in the soil. Place the cutting in the hole and firm the soil around the stem. Water well, then do not water again until the soil has dried out. While they like sun, keep them in bright light until rooted, then in part sun through the summer. Don't wait so long next time to take cuttings. Kalanchoe is best at about 2 to 3 years old.
