Succulent ID help needed!

6 years ago

I bought a couple plants to rescue from a local shop... But they came without tags. Its driving me crazy trying to identify them!

The 1st one... I think I've narrowed down to either a graptopetalum of some type, or a pachyphytum (hookeri or longifolium?) But I'm not sure how to tell between these without any flower stalks present!

The 2nd one I have no idea... They ID'ed it generally as a "2 inch tropical plant"

The last plant is a lovely cutting of variegated Ficus benjamina, pretty little thing.

Agree with socks...just leave the mother leaf there until it dries up, shrivels and it will detach itself from the new plant. In the meantime, it is supplying moisture and nutrients to the young plant.

Only vaguely similar IMO. O.d. is much lighter/greener overall, and has more 'smudges' of color comparing to E. purpusorum more solidly colored leaves - even if darker color seems to be more concentrating in lines. Leaves appear more purplish color overall: Not sure what you mean by "any thoughts?"

It looks like one of pachyies - which one, hard to tell. Looks similar to Chiseled Stones - there are few clones of this hybrid, most common one is green. But others turn almost brownish if grown in lots of sun. It may be possible to ID when it blooms.

My best guess would be some type of sedum. I would say Jelly Bean...except for the patina. I'm not sure I've seen S. Jelly Bean with a patina like your plant has. Someone else with more knowledge will chime in.

I would guess #1 is a Pacyveria. Possibly "Blue Pearl".

I am not quite sure, but believe there are 2 similar looking plants that are often referred to as Jelly bean - one is Sedum rubrotinctum (hybrid) and another is Sedum pachyphyllum (species). I think OP plants is S. pachyphyllm (it has longer & glaucous leaves comparing to S. rubrotinctum)

You guys are amazing. I just had a friend give me the name sedum rubrotinctum as her best guess. I appreciate the help!! Rina I think we have a winner with s.pachyphyllum!! So wonderful to see that it can bloom gorgeous yellow flowers!

Update..:

Called the green house, it was sent to them labelled as "pork and beans" so sedum rubrotinctum it is!!

Regardless what GH said, check photos (from reliable sites - not pinterest :) of S. rubrotinctum and S. pachyphyllum. You'll see the difference...

Thank you for the tip! I did look asset reliable resources and compare it to my plant... rubrotinctum does bare the closest resemblance to my eyes with the plant in person!

S. rubrotinctum has short leaves with rounded tips. It will be green in lower light and gets very red in good sunlight. I would like to see your plant grown in plenty of sunlight.

Your plant has longer leaves, tips are pointy, it is more bluish than green and has red tips...just as S. pachyphyllum does.

Hmm, I don't know, this first one does not look like S. pachyphyllum to me. This is my S. pachyphyllum, I took it for the flowers last weekend, so the leaves are out of focus.

I would agree with odyssey3, it could be one of the Pachyveria, maybe 'Blue Belle' (or 'Belle Blue' as I've seen it written both way).
