Can you help identifying these succulents?
Comments (8)Thank you so, so much for taking the time to squint your eyes at my pics, everyone. Without all of your responses combined, I never would have figured out what I have! Based on plant names provided, here are the plants I was able to confirm: photo 1) top: I feel the verdict is still out on whether the top and left plants are Sedum spurium or Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi. Here are better pics of these two. The bottom looks like Sedum burrito. I'm a little bummed about this since I've grown these before--thought I had something new! Variegated in front photo 2) left: Oscularia deltoides, sedum reflexum bottom right: crassula tetragona photo 3) left: Aptenia cordifolia variegata right: Orbea variegata I cleaned up and planted as much as I could today. My presentations, placements and all certainly aren't show quality, but I only had an hour in the hot sun to work. Here is the album if you want to see more pics... http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk83/nonamesleft_momma/gardenweb/Succulents/ Here is a link that might be useful: Succulent Album...See MoreNeed help identifying some succulents
Comments (5)Thanks for the help. I am aware they are not doing so well, I'm reading up and changing the way I water them to see if I can save them. I think I have been under watering them. I have quite a few more to ID as well, but I didn't want to post dozens of pictures in my first post....See MoreNeed some help identifying some succulents!
Comments (5)Hi Shelby. They look lovely :-) I'm mostly guessing here, but I'm sure others will pipe up. The first one looks a bit like a taller version of my Gasteria 'little warty', so maybe a Gasteria? If not, maybe an Aloe? Your 2nd plant is a Crassula, not sure which one. Guess... perforata? 3rd plant an Echeveria? 4th, another Gasteria, maybe It will be interesting to see if I get any correct lol. Just practicing my identifying skills, or lack of lol. Good luck...See MoreCan you help me identify these succulents?
Comments (4)That is a very etiolated Echeveria, my guess is Echeveria ‘Perle Von Nurnberg’’. There’s a few way you can go about this, but this is what I would do. 1. I would first give it a good drink, give it a few hrs of the earliest morning sun and afternoon shade. 2. Wait about a 7-10 days and then repot in a better mix like Rina suggested with your other succulent. Remove as much of the old soil off the roots before putting in new mix. 3. Then I would slowly acclimate to stronger light and water once the mix is dry. 4. After about two months the Echeveria should have nice compact top growth because it has been getting more sun, I would behead it right under the rosette. Put the cutting aside in the shade till it forms a nice callus, this should take no more than a week for that sized stem. You can leave the cutting out of mix till roots form or pot it up, but no water till roots. Keep the rootless cutting out of strong sunlight, without roots the little guy could potentially fry. Once roots grow you can begin to water and slowly acclimate to it’s sunny spot. 5. This is optional, but once you cut the top rosette off you can keep the lower stem attached to its roots. Treat it like a normal succulent and it’ll become your Echeveria baby machine....See Morewantonamara Z8 CenTex
