Eorlingas, FYI, if you have a separate question from the titled one, it's almost always best if you post your own message. However, since you didn't know what it was, it was a mystery succulent, wasn't it, and therefore qualified under title of same. It's just that your own posting will be seen by more folk and you're likely to get an answer (usually the right one) soon. I like your name for it, but it's no fairy. Does it grow in complete shade and get lots of water? Citosa, The more I look at it, the more I think it's a Kalanchoe, rather than a Sedum, even allowing for the fact that it's grown in indirect, filtered light. However, I could see similarities between it and, say, Sedum 'Purple Emperor', if S. 'PE' were grown in complete shade, and you screw your eyes up really tightly. Mine grows like the one in the link, but it's not hard to imagine it, IMO. Does your suggested plant look like a sub-family relation to Hylotelephium spectabile? Here is a link that might be useful: The Empurpled Imperator of Sedums

Em There is no 'prescription' like give it xxx of water xxx-times a week. Succulents need good drainage and medium they are potted in is supposed to provide that. If you are using a dense soil, it may stay too wet for too long. Succulents are not happy sitting with 'wet feet' - meaning that roots are in saturated soil. If nothing else, pls. get some perlite (easy to get from many stores including Wallmart, Lowe's, Home depot and garden centers, and it is quite inexpensive). Crenda already described how to make the mix. Pls. read her post above. Pot up the plant in mix like that, and water when it is almost dry - help yourself with a bamboo skewer or a chopstick to begin with. Stick it deep into a pot avoiding the roots; when taken out and is dry, time to water. If you see any small particles sticking to it and it feels cold/damp when you touch top of your hand or your cheek with it, there is still plenty of moisture and do not water. Best is to feel the pot right after watering - it will have some weight to it. As the mix dries out, pot becomes lighter. Do this together with a skewer test and you'll be able to tell pretty soon. (BTW, you will not find gritty mix sold in stores, it is mix we make ourselves by mixing different ingredients. It is, I believe, sold by just couple (?) of places by mail order). Succulents also need lots of light. If your room is dark, consider using supplemental lights. If not enough light, they will become etiolated - stretched, which makes them weaker, not-so-good looking, and they will also loose some color (hoovb already mentioned this - under illuminated...)

Hannah If you plan on repotting, consider making a fast-draining mix. I use mix of grit, perlite and turface only for all my succulents. If you have source of pumice, it is great instead of perlite (not so easy to find for me). This will make gravely-gritty mix, that is well draining and also has great aeration. In a mix like that, plant can be watered about 1x every 4-5 days (depends on how warm it is). It is best to water succulents thoroughly, and then let the potting mix dry up. In fast-draining mix, all excess water will run out. Particulates that make the mix will hold enough water for the plant, without it sitting in saturated soil, with 'wet feet'. If you can't get the ingredients, or do not want to bother, mixing about 50% (could be more) of perlite (or pumice) with soil will do. Or you can look for LECHUZA-PON. Great mix, from Germany, you probably can get it easily in Europe: -Lechuza-Pon - click me-

It could be just a spider web. I would wipe it off and see if it happens again. There is a moth that lays eggs that hatch into caterpillars, and they are protected by a web. They are called Leafrollers. I don't know if they like succulents - but maybe yes. You could try to see if there is anything - eggs, caterpillars - hiding inside of the web. If you find any, just cut off the leaf and dispose of it, away from plants (soapy water works to drown caterpillars very well). I wouldn't use any chemical or home-made spray, usually there is no problem unless big infestation. There are many beneficial insects that would take care of them if outdoors. I had couple of leaves like that, with larvae under the silk, on one of my bay trees. I just cut leaves with web off and disposed off them. It happened only once - I have the tree for about 7yrs.
