Comments (2)You can do both pluck the lower leaves and set on soil - mist them every other day (look at your other post for more information), and also put the denuded stem into soil and it will also grow....See MoreSucculent ID help
Comments (11)1. Crassula ovata Tricolor (it gets those red/maroon margins from good sun). Underside of leaves could get solid maroon. I have seen it listed under name Lemon and Lime - I have that one too and would say that coloring is bit different - at least on my pants. Maybe I am just mixed-up? Hummel's Sunset has. IMO, different coloring too, with some yellow and red, and not as much green-white striping. 4.Looks like Crassula tetragona to me? Can't help with cacti - do not really collect them :)...See MoreSucculent ID help!
Comments (6)That distance could be why...and also, it depends on lights you are using. I use lights for about 6mo/year. Plants are much closer, some as close as 2". I do not think any are further than 8-9". Others keep them further away. But I make sure plants are well acclimatized to good light. I use bulbs or tubes with high kelvins, most are 6500k, few bit lower. IMO, 4000k is quite low, I would look for min 5000k. And lights are directly above plants. They are all on timers, 12hrs on - 12hrs off....See MoreSucculent ID help needed!
Comments (3)1st one looks like a crested Aeonium variegata. Don't know if that's sun damage, but I'd pick off the dried up, dead leaves. 2nd one is some kind of Aloe Haworthia hybrid; pls take that mossy stuff off the top. It can lead to rot &/or help hide insects. Yes, 3rd one is some kind of Echeveria; don't know which one. Pls try not to handle the leaves as it rubs off the whitish stuff which the plant needs. Pls be sure ALL the pots have drainage holes, that's a must. Interesting looking soils, except the 3rd pic. The dark soil btwn the pumice looks very fine & water retentive....See MoreTolya Tolya
