Cacti & Succulents

Can you help me ID these lovely succulents please?

6 years ago

Hi. I got some free leaf cuttings a year ago and also got given some other plants which needed a bit of TLC. They've grown and look healthier (though some might be a bit etiolated...had to grow through the damaged leaves), so it would be good to know what they are. If anyone could advise what the names of these plants are I'd be so grateful, here are the photos...

2. Echeveria Purple Pearl maybe?

Thanks for numbering them!

1 probably a Sedum or Sedeveria.

2 might be Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg

3 maybe Echeveria pulidonis?

Gorgeous plants! I love that soft green and green/grey colour :-)

And well done growing some them from leaves. It gives me hope that some of mine might turn out as lovely.

No idea of names though, sorry.

It certainly is not an Aeonium they will not tolerate the heat the leaves are not correct as well, it is not a Crassula, which is a witger grower I heve never seen a Echevieris grow such a thin stem. I belive it could be possibly be a Sedum deltoideum I used to have one crested but not any more, and of course there is good possiblilty I may be wrong. This is another reason labels are needed. U gave seen crested Aeonium, I would recognize the leaves. When your plant flowers you will know. Norma

Thank you so much for the reply! I will look that up! :) I'm embarrassed to say, I've been staring at them for two days and still have no idea if those are flower stalks or what. Ha. I tried looking up the difference to see if I could figure out what was in store for them, but ended up lost in a sea of Google. :)

Thanks so much for your reply! Someone on another forum was able to ID it as Euphorbia drupifera, and looking at the pics that's definitely it. The leuconeura is very similar to it though - that's a neat plant! Thanks again! :)

If I may suggest - regardless of exact ID, they would do better in different potting media. Looks like they are in original peat? Succulents need good drainage - that means pot with drainage hole(s) and fast draining mix. And lots of sun (after being acclimatized to it).

Thank you! I've done a bit more research based on your suggestions and I think the first one might be Sedum Adolphii and I agree that the second looks like Perle Von Nurnberg. I've found a couple of images of an Echeveria Pulidonis hybrid called 'Pink Edge' which looks like the third one.

Thanks Helen, I think it's amazing how succulents can grow from just a leaf! No. 2 was just a leaf cutting freebie and it formed three rosettes. I'm sure you'll grow lots of beautiful plants. :)

#1 looks more like Sedum 'Golden Glow';

#4 maybe Echeveria 'Ron Evans';

#8 maybe Graptoveria 'Opalina'

5 could be Pachyphytum bracteosum and 6 could be Pachyveria glauca but both plants are etiolated so it's difficult to be certain

4 could be an etiolated Sedeveria Letizia. In higher light, the leaf-tips turn red
