Need help identifying my succulent
Comments (5)Hi lolanda, This plant looks like Crassula muscosa to me. It's also called the Watch Chain Plant and the Princess Pine. It's super easy to grow and a rapid spreader. Also, if any of the branches break off, don't throw them away! Green leaves and branches from this plant root readily on perlite in a shady place outside. Hope this helps!...See MoreNeed help identifying and growing my succulent cuttings
Comments (13)Agj, Because they're actually missing the very bottom of the plant, its base, where the stem & rosette attach. Ill advised to root it w/ no stem whatsoever, as it would likely rot the very base of the plant & cause the whole thing to collapse. I wouldn't remove any bottom leaves at all, for fear of the same thing. I've never seen 'cuttings' of rosette type succulents w/ NO BASE or STEM at all. It's not something folks would normally do, if they'd grown these themselves as they'd know better, or anything that'd be done by folks who actually know these plants, that's why I'm suggesting return them if PURCHASED. Cuttings even if unrooted are comprised of the entire plant. Different if from a well-intended friend if they didn't know better. I once brought back a shopping back literally stuffed w/ cuttings from friends of a friend in San Diego. All the rosettes had some stems left on them at least an inch if not more. It's sort of the minimum that one needs. Imagine one quarter of a king size bed covered w/ newspaper & all sorts of succulent cuttings; almost all made it. For at least some of us, it doesn't have to be hit & miss at all. Since this person sounds like a Newbie, imagine if they plant these in soil & then watered? Major mush would likely follow. Kate: they are beautiful. From the IDs given, if you do some reading, you'll see they mostly require similar care; strong sun (except the Haworthia), moderate watering, small clay pots (must have holes in them) & fast draining mix. Good luck....See MoreI need help identifying my succulent!!!!
