My grandmother gave me a start of a plant several years ago, but never
knew what it was. It is small, doesn't have leaves, doesn't bloom,
and slowly spreads on its own. To make a new plant, just cut a few 1"
pieces off and stick them in soil.

I took three pictures that somebody can hopefully identify:

Sorry I don't have an answer, but I'm interested to see what others
have to say. At first I thought it looked like a Stepelia which
produces a stinky (5 petal) star-shaped flower. All green plants
produce a flower or cone, so your plant will probably flower if given
ideal conditions. The flower really helps the identity. Nice
pictures, BTW.

My first guess, seeing it had "no leaves" was a lithops. Wrong. They're one of
the few succulents I like, because they don't look like succulents. They
really do look like "living rocks" (or very early cellular division.)

Sedum rupestre? or a close relative.

I bought one of these recently but lost the tag. I think it is a Crassula.

Kinda looks like Rhipalis to me.. Cereoid would know probably.

Yes, I do knw and already identified it as Crassula muscosa.

Rhipsalis are stem succulents in the Cactaceae not leaf succulent.

I had looked up Crassulae (sp) when I bought my plant and found a picture of
this same plant. Unfortunately, I didn't bookmark the site. Before I replied
to the the other poster I tried to find the picture again on other sites to no
avail so just mentioned that I thought it was a Crassula, as I wasn't about to
look for it all night. Just trying to help : ).

To the first poster:

You seem to have many sprigs of this plant growing well. When I bought my
plant a few months ago, I divided it up. Part of it went into a succulent
planter garden I had, an old yellow glazed pottery planter with a gollum jade
(a cousin) and some more succulents planted. It's doing very well in a west
window now during winter and gives a good effect with straight growth and
trailing.

My grandma passed some plants to me and they didn't make it when I moved far
away. I hope you can keep these plants long after your grandparents are gone
and that you all grow and flourish.
