EDIT: Just realised there's a ID section in the forum so I'll repost this there.
Hi everyone!
This is my first post on the forum
I need some help in ID-ying a couple of plants I recently bought.
the first is a succulent (or so I suppose) that is have oppositely positioned leaves and red flowers (hanging, bell-shaped, 4 petals and with 8 stamens; I didn't see any female organ).

The second is actually a carnivorous pitcher plant (Excuse me for posting it in this section of the forum but I didn't want to post two separate threads).
I sat and researched what it might be exactly.
I narrowed it down to two possibilities:
- Sarracenia purpurea
- Sarracenia rosea
The exact species and variety are what I'm trying to pick out but I just can't seem to do so myself.
I read that one of the main differences lies in the flower. However mine hasn't flowered yet.

Hope I've provided enough info you to help me ID these two plants. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Please tell me what you typed into google to find that so quickly cause I spent maybe 2 hours going through dozens of plant identifiers to no avail! hahaha
Kalanchoe manginii seems close enough. It looks like A LOT like mine.
Mine doesn't have serrated edges to the leaves so it might just be a different variety.
And yes, it is pretty! haha That's precisely why I bought it! I always forget to ask about specific ID details when buying plants. I'll have to go back to confirm your finding... and to buy something else
EDIT: I did some searching and it could also be Bryophyllum manginii.
