I remebered a few days ago that the store where I bought my Tillandsias is actually a terrarium making store and they had hundreds of Succulents last time! So I went down this morning and was lucky enough to arrive the day after a new shipment came in. They had a variety of pot sizes, 1 inch plugs for 3.50, 2 inch pots for 5, and I think 4 inch pots for 8. Anyway there was a TON to chose from. I planned out the dish a head of time using toothpicks and things (I was bored okay?) So I had a good idea on how many I was going to get. Ended up getting: 4 echeverias (one might be a grapto, not sure) As small plugs so they're pretty tiny. One already has some off shoots though. I tried to figure out their ID's. Came up with E. 'Pink Pearl' E. 'Green Gem' E. 'Spruce divider' And then E. Agavoides, but I don't really think that's it. 1 Aloe. Could not figure out the species! I thought it was pink blush at first but it's very different looking. Has a pup growing at the base. 1 Gasteria 'Little Warty' Was pretty excited to see it there! It's very tiny! They only had 2 others there. 1 Senecio. I'm thinking it might be S. Cylindricus..... Got it on a whim because I was sorta going crazy 1 Crassula Perforata. Also got it during the craze. Though I wish I would have gotten the variegated version! Oh well. And 1 other that I cannot identify for the life of me... Looks nice though. Got it during the craze as well... They didn't have any haworthias there but they did have some Kalanchoes. Almost got one but I didn't.... Anyway here's the final product of an addition of 42 dollars worth of succulents: It is going to be VERY over crowded once they all 'grow up' so I'm just going to say this is a nursery pot... I guess I'll have to start a new one once they out grow it ;). I added in my Pony palm which got attacked by my cat earlier... Moved the Jade to the back and the Burros tail to the front and got rid of the Sedum. Completely remixed the soil with loads of perlite. I tried to do 50/50 of the perlite and the original mix I had in there, seems to drain really good. The aloe I bought a while back I moved it into its own pot and separated a small plant. Didn't end up putting it in the dish so I'm giving the small plant to a friend. Compelelty regret that whole purchase. Added the gravel to the top to stabilize everything. The Jade is very top heavy and the echeverias didn't seem to like to stay put! I'm excited to see how everything gets along with each other. Can anyone identify the mystery plant, aloe, and back up my others ID's? Here's the Aloe (sorta thinking maybe it's not even an aloe?) The echeverias (very unsure on the species of the far left red and green one) The Senecio ( I'm thinking cylindricus) And here's the mystery plant. For whatever reason I think this one is not going to like the same conditions as the others.. And here's the pot again but with flash so there's no shadows

succulentsunshine, I wasn't able to pm you, it doesn't seem to be enabled on your page. Over the years I have bought a lot of jades on eBay, and traded with other forum members here and elsewhere. Like everyone else I also buy from shops and supermarkets - you need to read up a lot about jades so you know what you're looking at. Nearly all of my trades are within Europe including the UK, and the same for my online purchases. Jades are very popular in the European Union, and also in Eastern Europe. I have sent cuttings further, but they often suffer because of the distance and the time spent in transit. My last venture, sending cuttings outside Europe, was not a success, and the recipient lost many of the cuttings. Sometimes when cuttings go to beginners they literally do not know how to get them going successfully, and that is very disappointing for them. In the last month I have successfully homed about 120 plants and many many rooted leaves, but these are mostly local or in the UK, and are well-rooted plants. I know if you are persistent you will build a nice collection, especially if you are willing to share some of your own cuttings and/or leaves. Sharing can bring you a lot of joy too, I have always found it so. One last word, always keep an eye on the plants you do have, you never know what might turn up; I have a white-variegated jade which I grew from two small apical leaves I spotted on a green jade my sister gave me. It's now about 9 inches tall and very sturdy, and has just sported different coloured variegated leaves from its own. Most of the rare jades around were found in this way. The best of luck in your endeavours, succulentsunshine.

Yep it's sunburned. The best thing now is to put your Agavoides in a spot outside where it's in bright filtered light, but no direct sun. For me my porch is good for this. It gets bright light, but direct sun. Leave your Agavoides there for awhile so it can snap back:). Eventually as the plant grows those leaves will die off and you will never know this happened:).

The Aloe is likely a hybrid. The Euph. looks to possibly be a monstrose form of some sp.. 6. I think is a Gymnocalycium sp. 7. Looks like an Aeonium in form. Some sedums have this form, but are usually not this large. 8. You may be able to I.D. this Mammillaria at the CactiGuide site. Look for Mamms that bifurcate vs. ones that stay single. It looks like a common one so you should be able to find it. Sorry I don't have any complete I.D.'s but maybe the leads will help.
