Need some help Identifying these Succulents
Comments (21)Again i wanna thank you all for at least taking the time too write a response too my original post. Here is the sad tale as too how this collection came too me, a Neighbor who i would chat with while he was tending his plants in the yard next too where i just moved too, passed away, 2 days after the funeral his family just piled all his plants in the front yard in the trash, I am sure they are dealing with all the aspects of trying too sift through a love ones long life, but well, it bothered me. So i asked if it would be OK if i could take them, his family said sure. My mother in law has now jumped in with both feet and we are actually becoming very close (something I thought could never happen, in fact this is something that me and these plants original owner had actually discussed a few times hmmmmm ) Some of them because of broken pots i went ahead and planted in the ground but most are as i got them. Like i said i am reading reading reading on proper fertils and ............ the proper name subject is because i have REALLY become fascinated with them and would like too add too the collection, but more, i just WANT too be sure i know what i am doing. the Images.. truth is this is my first time i have ever done anything online on any type of forum/ chat boards, so i honestly don't really know how much of this actually "works" I tried copy and pasting the images in and i couldn't find an area too upload them with the message, i had originally hoped that the HTTP addresses would be a click direct, and would be able too just click and take you too the original Photo Storage space, but when it appeared that people would have too cut and paste, i figured id just see what happen. After I realized that what i had done was done COMPLETELY wrong,I planned on just waiting a while and once everyone had forgotten my disastrous first attempt, then id talk a more computer savvy friend into showing me how too just embed the photos here. I am now writing this because everyone has been so nice, i just didn't want too leave it like this. Ill keep working on this and when i get it hashed out i will be back thank you...See Moresome new ones,,, some old ones fortoday
Comments (10)RITA, i sure am trying hard to do just that.Keeping the blooms coming.I took a bunch of pictures of another one today, too,and couldnt see the bloom in the camera to get a decent picture and I deleted every one of them..Sure wish it would be cloudy early morning.That would solve my problem.Today,I tried using a umbrella to shade the camera so I could see the bloom, but that didnt work so good either,as I just had such a brightglare it just made it almost impossible. BRITTIE,ELLIE,DEBRA,KAY,,CHRISTENE, AND SARAH;.Thank you so much for looking and taking the time to comment on them. Jean...See MoreNeed help with some succulents I got
Comments (3)First seems to be an Echeveria but a bit out of focus. Second looks like Gasteria bicolor Third is out of focus, not sure what it is The soil seems a bit heavy on the organic side and may retain too much water, especially for the cactus(?) and the Echeveria, meaning it will hold too much water increasing the risk of rot. Any without roots should NOT be watered until it has roots. The Echeveria looks like it might need a smaller pot and more light as well....See MoreNeed help identifying some succulents
Comments (5)Thanks for the help. I am aware they are not doing so well, I'm reading up and changing the way I water them to see if I can save them. I think I have been under watering them. I have quite a few more to ID as well, but I didn't want to post dozens of pictures in my first post....See MoreJayvee Chun (Manila Philippines, Tropics)
