Comments (5)As Stella mentions, it's etiolated, but not by much. This is one Crassula that doesn't mind not having full sun (although it easily handles it). Bright spot with some shade would be fine, too. I also think it's C. rupestris. Now that you have this one, you might consider collecting the other 280 or so Crassulaceae, Old World and New, which are succulent. It's probably well more than 280, but you get my drift. And that's even before we get into the hybrids and sports, which are themselves a major subset. For a cheap fix, cover the aforementioned drainage hole with newspaper (three layers is sufficient) pages to prevent the soil from falling / draining out; for a permanent solution, use an old piece of windowscreen. After you repot in the above mix, wait three days before giving it a good drink. You should see new growth, given ideal growing conditions and a healthy rootball, in two weeks....See MoreUnknown succulent identification request
