It looks like sempervivum to me too...follow instructions socks posted.

Hi Andrea, a couple quick notes:

1. Looks like it may be a Sempervivum. Looks like it wants more light. You can tell by the way the leaves are going down and it being lighter green in color.

2. If so, they grow best outside bc they need a lot of light. At minimum right now move the plant in front of the window. Light from across the room won't do much for it.

3. Succulents need containers with a drainage hole and they don't do so well in glass containers.

4. The soil looks too water retaining. Succulents need a well-draining soil. The easiest thing to do is to repot it in a mix of 50% cactus and succulent soil and 50% perlite. 60% perlite would be even better.

5. Only water when the soil is dry. You can see how dry/wet it is by sticking a wooden skewer in for a minute or two and pulling it out to see if it's dry. Then when watering, water fully until water comes out the bottom.

6. Rocks at the bottom of a pot do not improve drainage, unfortunately that is a myth.

I know that's a lot of info to digest, let us know what questions you have!

Oops, just saw the other posts! I took too long to type! :P

Thanks for the advice! I'm trying out placing it in a different room, in more direct sunlight, until I can attempt to re-pot it in a more appropriate container. If direct sunlight isn't enough to revive it, and it really needs to be outside, I might have to try finding a friend who has a balcony that needs a succulent. Also, the succulent has a couple small sprouts (don't know if that's the right term) close to the base that don't seem to be as affected by the stint in someone's garage as the main plant. Should I be trying to transplant them further away from the main plant, or just leave them? I clearly don't know much about caring for succulents, as opposed to normal houseplants.

Just leave them.

Hi Andrea. To me the other room with the direct sunlight sounds good. Succulents can get sunburnt though, especially if it's lived in a garage for a while :-D so needs to be acclimated to direct sunlight. Maybe couple of hours in direct sun first. Then increase by 2 hours every 2 or 3 days?

I like Katherine's advice and she would mean to put the skewer in for 2 minutes then pull out to check. I would stick it right to the bottom to make sure it's all dry.

Personally I would see what the pups, offshoots, do as you repot. If they seem to be falling of the mother plant I would pot them separately so I have 3 plants lol. But if they are seemingly hugging close to mama I would leave them be as I don't know about Sempervivums.

If it was an Aloe vera i would seperate because I know those plants will grow.

When repotting wash all the soil off the roots first, dry them gently with a paper towel, then let them dry off. I usually leave my succulents overnight. If the roots or bottom of the plant don't look good, post us some photos of the areas of concern before you repot.

As I said, I don't know Sempervivums, so hopefully someone will post if any of my thoughts aren't good for them, but generally Succulents all need similar care.

Hope it all goes well.

Sempervivums really need to grow outside to look their best. Indoors is usually not sufficient for them, and they are hardy Alpine plants that appreciate some winter time :)

'Chicks' = offsets/pups can stay, these plants usually look better in clumps, as they grow in their habitat. They do not really fall off the mother plant, except for "Jovibarba rollers" that roll off on their own. But your plant isn't Jovibarba roller.

Semps chicks will grow detached or attached... Unfortunately, you didn't indicate your general location - the sun isn't that strong anymore in colder zones and they could, possibly, stay in sunlight for longer than just 2 hrs/day. Mine stay outdoors all year long and they get rained on and a snow cover in winter. As long as they are in fast draining mix in a container with drainage holes, they are just fine.
