Question
I got an adorable young succulent (I think) from my aunt last spring. She had no idea what its name was or how to care for it, but even so it has done well even in my sun-poor climate sitting on my windowsil. It is in a very small baby food container, which I deeply regret, because whenever I try to transfer it to a proper pot it begins to wilt. I water it once a week. It is a very small, young-looking plant with a stem that resembles tree bark, it is no more than 1 cm in thickness. When the stem is snapped open, there is a single green, very wet chamber visible inside. The plant branches out and the "leaves" (I'm not sure if they really are leaves or not) are peculiar in that they are little green, round pouches filled with a watery substance -- when squeezed between the fingers, a "leaf" leaves a lot of watery juice on the fingers. There are very fine and short whitish hairs on each of these "leaf" pods. Although regular light bulbs produce no ultraviolet rays: very peculiarly, this plant seems to grow better if left under a lamp.

Answer
Cara,

I love succulents and have a lot of them. I am pretty sure I can figure out what it is but I really need a picture of it. You can email a picture to me at [email protected]. If you can't email me a picture send me an email anyway and I will give you my mailing address to send me a picture. There are several plants that come close to matching your descriiption.
