Please help with ID of succulent- and care...
Comments (16)Yay! Finally got my laptop back up & running (after 3 wks!) My plant that is like yours...I believe has A. tabuliforme as a parent. I've been scouring my Aeonium book for a match, but so far none...that is a "for sure" species. Here, showing many rosettes, the burned leaves & one hanging rosette I was cleaning off dead leaves from, broke away easily. Clcik for larger view:...See MoreHelp me ID this succulent please?

Comments (1)I think it needs a good soaking. It is trying to conserve moisture and is dropping old leaves. If you are unsure, stick a long toothpick or wooden kebab skewer deep into the soil and leave it overnight. Pull it out tomorrow, and if it doesn't feel dampish, you should water. It is possible your soil is compacted into a hard mass which water cannot soak into. When you water, watch if the water comes out the drainage holes immediately or if it actually soaks into the soil. If it pours out immediately, immerse the whole pot in a deep tray of water and let it soak for a few hours. Then use the wooden skewer to determine when it needs to be watered again.

Comments (8)Echeveria Pupursorum It looks like the stem is black. Is it soft/squishy/mushy? That might mean rot. So you would have to behead it. But we will get into that later, even if it is rot. If it is rot, it was caused by the soil you have it in. Also, I hope your pot has a drainage hole. It looks like what it came in.. I recommend 50/50 strained or sifted perlite and cactus and succulent soil. A drainage hole and good soil is a necessity for succulents:) Were the leaves soft before they shriveled? I had an echeveria rot, the leaves turned black and the stem was black. If it isn't taken care of soon it will rot away like mine. Trust me, it wasn't good:(...See MoreHawObsession VN
