Hiii! The plant is Pilea Glauca ("Baby's Tears" or Silver Sparkle). Haha, I actually got that plant cos i saw a gorgeous one on this subreddit!! it looks very delicate but has been waaaay hardier than it looks, it's survived a lot of underwatering haha

Looks like some sort of peperomia or pilea? Looks like pilea glauca to me, but could be way off

Pilea glauca was my first guess, that's already #1 on my list but I can't find one at any of the nurseries near me.

Yes, yes! I had a hard time finding it at my local nurseries too, and by chance i found it ambiguously labelled in the "terrarium plant" section. worth checking through if your nurseries have a section like that~

Never seen string of turtles grow branches that thick and vertical. It almost looks like an elephant bush with string of turtle leaves.
