Help with Succulent ID-ing please? Round 2
Comments (20)Ohhh I see Malaysia is a bit different from me When #4 was in flowering for me Sun time here at longest is about 15.75 hours buds where easy to see and nearly ready to open and did so with lesser sun light time and finished flowering 12 days later. Temps where in the 80 - 92 F range at the same sun times mentioned and the time of day mine opened was 16:00 hours to 23:00 hours For now I can say your heaviest rain season might be a bit much for #4 although the soil you have it in does look nice enough to drain fast enough. Again odd #4 Messeb like water more than most succulents but doesn't like wet roots for to long of time in days the top will rot out on you if to wet to long. Your other plants would certainly benefit with a lot less water than #4 can handle Other than a season rain over watering concern I have think you'll do very well with yours. As caution I think it would be best if you could provide a tarp or tent for some over head covering during your heavy tropical rain season over the entire garden bed. I and others here appreciate you and want to see your plants in there best of flowering later too. In all honesty it's best to tell you to talk to some of your local people with the same succulent garden passion as yours and ask them what they do....See MoreCrassula ID Please

Comments (5)That's Cotyledon orbiculata (there's a lot of variability in that species). You can repot it now - just wait several days after repotting before you water it. Teflon tape's great on pipe threads - not so much on plants. I don't think it will help it heal. Just remove it from the main plant. It will heal itself....See MorePlease help me ID & care for my sick succulent
Comments (2)Hi Rebecca, I think you might have had already ID-ed your own plant correctly. It looks like a very weak and etiolated thyrsiflora. These plants are very resilient and are quite difficult to kill, unless you give them constant attention and overwater them. My question is how does the roots look like when you potted it up? As you said it was only a cutting when you received it. If there is no roots in existence, your plant will eventually wilt into nothing. If you do ever see signs of roots, do not pluck off the lower leaves until they are completely dry, as that what these plants do, they cannibalize their lower leaves to produce more energy for its stem and roots. If you pull away semi-wilted leaves, you are essentially removing food from the plant that it still can utilize. My last piece of advise is, stay away from recycling organic soils. Use sterilize new soil as much as you can if you want to grow plants in containers, or sterilize the soil yourself by adding boiling water to it and microwave the soil for about 3-4 minutes - cool it then plant your plant into it. I'm also afraid to say you might be drowning your plant with too much DE powder. It looks like a pudding covering the soil, that's not how soil should be for healthy plants. Happy Growing.
