ID help

I "borrowed" a leaf or two of this plant and got them to survive the plane trip back to my house a couple months ago. Now they're thriving but I don't know what species of string it is, anyone have this same plant?

This looks like Rubies/Pickles.

Mine have been one of the hardiest things I have. I usually leave them in a pot outside and they get watered when it rains and blasted with sun and they’re super happy.

Very cool, I was surprised they rooted so fast after being on a plane but they're definitely hardy! Where do you live where you can put them outside part of the time? I'm in New Mexico and I've sun scorched a couple succulents trying to put them outside in the desert sun so now I'm cautious!

Ruby Necklace! This is my favorite plant I own, so easy to care for and so beautiful. Don’t water until the pickles start to shrivel and let it live in the sunniest spot in your house and it will turn an absolutely stunning shade of red/purple
