ID succulent. Looks like a "generic" succulent.
I see them everywhere for like party favors and stuff, that's why I say "generic." But I can't seem to find anything online that looks exactly like these.
My guesses are some type of Pachyveria or Pachyphytum?
I am guessing no matter what, they need the typical succulent care? Well-draining soil (cactus mix/perlite) and light watering? I need to replant it :)
Also, how do I view the forums on the Houzz app?

ID for small, tree-like succulent
Comments (5)Thanks guys, I looked up Aeoniums and it's definitely an Aeonium Haworthii. And you're right, the pot is definitely wet and I want to get it somewhere else right away. My options are the following: (a) In my garden, where I have a spot against a wall that would shade it from the afternoon sun, although as I said, the soil is pretty heavy clay. I guess I could dig in some gravel in that spot. Would gypsum work? I've used that to loosen up the soil elsewhere with pretty good results. (b) Outside on the eastern side of the apartment, where it's definitely coolest, although the direct sun is very limited. (c) On my west-facing balcony, which gets plenty of sunlight and already supports my container garden of tomatoes and herbs. It's warmer than the front, but not terrible because there's a constant cool breeze. How well do you think this plant would stand up to wind? (d) A south-facing window that gets TONS of sun but is probably still cooler than my parents' house. I really appreciate the help. These are my first posts here, and I'm very impressed with the knowledgeable and timely responses on this forum....See MoreHelp with succulent (?) ID!! :) looks like senecio mandraliscae

Comments (10)Your plant looks like a Pachypodium, which is actually not a cactus. I think it may be getting too much water and I suspect the soil and the pot are holding too much water to allow the soil to dry out enough before watering again. Does the pot have a drainage hole? If it were my plant I would carefully unpot the plant and inspect it for rot. The dark coloration at the top could indicate rot, hard to tell from pictures but combined with the shriveling trunk I would look at the roots and see if they are dark, mushy or gone. Can you get some perlite? I would mix perlite with the soil so it's more like 60% perlite (or more) / 40% soil. It needs to be less moisture retentive & dense and the perlite will help with that. The plant needs a lot of sun (acclimate slowly) and has distinct dormant periods that you have to be aware of as the don't like to be watered at that time much if at all. Hope this helps, good luck!...See MoreSucculent Id (My first succulent trio)
Comments (1)So I did some research myself and I think the last two are Echeveria Black Prince, and Echeveria Lola. The black prince though seems to have a lighter color than expected, so I need to place it with lots of light. The first one I think is a sedum, but not yet figured out which species....See MoreRaeAnna, z9b, Sacramento
6 years agoI thought they were all the same... GREAT. lol! Thank you!
In that case, here is another top down view. There are 2 others that aren't visible in the first photo. Are those Graptosedum as well?I will have to put labels on them when I repot. Haha.
Yep! That's what I do too! :)

6 years agoEven "generic" succulents can be pretty;)
'Firestorm':) I wish I would have taken a picture earlier when this thing was blooming. It had white blooms everywhere:). The second pic is 'Opalina'. Third and fourth pic is just your plain old ice plant. When those things bloom I'm pretty sure even the most stuck up succulent person would be stopped in their tracks.
