Succulent identification?

last modified: 14 days ago

I got a succulent at a garage sale earlier today, because I thought it was beautiful. I am completely new to caring for succulents and don't know anything about the different species. The best I could find was a jewel succulent, but I don't think that's what it is. Could someone help?

Looks like some sort of x Pachyveria; there are dozens of these hybrids. Yours looks like ’Powder Puff’ or maybe ’Draco’, but don’t quote me on the variety.

Be sure to give it your sunniest window, and do water it in summer.

Thank you so much, I wasn't sure since there are so many species that look similar to my succulent but aren't quite the same. Even if you aren't sure, I am grateful for the help!

Looks like a plumeria seedling/cutting, but i could be wrong. The new leaves mean its waking up from dormancy at this time of year(deciduous succulent tree). http://wallysurf.com/images/Miscpics/DSCF0988.JPG

Now I can see :) Still, pretty good looking plant. You can propagate bottom leaves - while there is never 100% guarantee that they will sprout, there is a good chance. OTH, you can prune off top, leaving 2-3 old leaves on the stem and it is possible it will continue growing. Here is a photo of 2 leaves being propagated and bigger plants later on - you can see original leaf in bottom photo (top leaf is still there, but cut off the photo) - I leave them, until they completely dry up:

Agree with Emily and CactusMcHarris. Back right of pic 1 appears to be an echeveria peacockii. The one behind the Sedum.
