Can someone please identify this succulent?

7 years ago

Here's a picture of my succulent. It's just grown a couple of flower stems. The fleshy 'leaves' are roughly triangular with a wavy outer edge. The plants main stem is covered in fine brown 'hairs' which I suspect are roots? I have another plant of the same variety but it hasn't shown any stems (yet).

They are aerial roots - Adromischus cristatus. =)

It's an Aeonium and it is infested with mealy bug. You can try and save it by spraying with a mixture of 50/50% water/rubbing alcohol. You will have to remove it from its current location because it will infect the other plants in the pot, if it hasn't already. This post was edited by bikerdoc5968 on Thu, Nov 13, 14 at 15:23

Looks like a spider sac with a covering over it nestled in the groove of the leaf. However, that is a weird place for a spider egg sac. Or, it might be some kind of weird rot that I wouldn't want any where near the rest of the plant. I can't be sure. I need more detail in the picture. I'm leaning toward spider egg sac.
