Massive succulents and cacti haul, ID help needed
Flavia - Zone9b, London UK

Ok, I have done something crazy... I ordered 50 random rooted cuttings.
I have experience with popular types of succulents, but most of them I can't name here.
I am going to research and hopefully name them all, but please if you recognise one of these little guys, it would be immense help! I want to make sure I give each of them the right amounts of light - will need to divide them between the ones that need lots of light and the ones that tolerate part shade (limited window space, sigh).
I started this spreadsheet that is fully editable, but just dropping a comment below would be a huge help! I am particularly interested in n. 40...

Hopefully this will also help other people that need IDing!

Comments (11)Did you mention where you live? (Good idea is to put general location and/or growing zone next to your name...) Yes, Sempervivums could be grown indoors but usually they don't look their best. I am not sure if they are better off with having to spend winter outside (some plants have to have x number of cold days to grow well); unless you get them really good light during winter they usually look quite sad. During summer it may not make that much difference. But amount of light is always less indoors than outdoors. But if you don't have access to garden or deck-balcony, you have to just do it indoors. Many ppl have to, living in apartments without balcony or any other outdoor space. All of the succulents need lots of light otherwise they stretch as I already mentioned about Painted lady. I use lots of supplemental lighting in winter, and probably will improve even more next winter. here is same Echeveria purpusorum, still indoors (March) and blooming, under lights: Adding more perlite definitely helps....See MoreCacti/succulent ID help
Comments (17)I upload pics from my 'phone onto my computer photos file, then attach the photo I want, to the post I want, by clicking 'photo' (the camera). That brings up my photo album, and I just select the photo I want. OH and, by the way: I asked the forum administrators how to change a first post and add pictures; they informed me that a first original post by a member, starting a new thread, has only a limited time permitted for editing. Personally, I think that the fact that anyone can return to a comment they've made, in a thread, even days later, and change it, that application seems a bit bizarre, frankly......See MoreNew cacti like succulent - please help id
Comments (8)You guys are awesome! Thanks! She said that if she got more, she would save them for me. For $4, it appears that I got a bargain for such a full plant. So I researched after you ID'd the plant and it seems that it should do well in my regular gritty mix. Obviously it needs a bigger pot. It appears to me that there are several plants in this pot. Since I read that it has tuberous roots, can I gently cut the roots and repot smaller clumps? Thanks again, Rhonda...See MoreSomeone help me ID my cacti/succulents please?
Comments (6)Sadly, just because a bagged soil is called 'cactus soil' that doesn't necessarily mean it's any good for cacti and succulents as we've said many times before, it's just sales blurb. They will die in that mix whatever their size, large or small, the result will be the same. Can't tell what the planter/s look like size wise in relation to the plants or whether it's one big planter, but whichever, there's way too much unused 'peaty' type compost. It will cause one of two things to happen...if you water thoroughly which they will need (but they also need to drain properly) it will stay wet and they'll rot. Failing that, the soil may become hydrophobic, you will think you are watering it but it will stay dry at the roots, as spray bottles don't water efficiently. Please do a search for a more suitable mix using the search box a the top, your plants will thank you in the end. Gill...See MoreFlavia - Zone9b, London UK
