I bought one in June that looks just like it! My best guess is sedum adolphii, but I’m not sure! It was more orange when I got it, and it’s gotten a bit leggy. I propagated a bunch of leaves and the offsets

It may be Sedum adolphi, that is bit variable. The color change and legginess are results of not enough sunlight. Check also xGraptosedum Bronze that has similar growth pattern and shape of the leaves. IIRC, they grow longer stems, could be up to 12" long or so. In less sunlight, they became green. Flowers are quite distinct in both cases, and would help to ID.

Thank you for your help! I haven't attempted getting any of my succulents to flower yet because I thought they were too young? I read the best time to attempt flowering was after they were between 4 and 6 years old, but I'd definitely appreciate anyone's input; I'd really like to try it.

Thank you so much for the photos too! Your succulent looks great!

While looking at Sedum adolphi, I came across Sedum carnicolor? Could that be a possibility or are the leaves too broad at the ends?

I don't know if this would help, but this is the same succulent in the spring. He got quite leggy during the winter since there wasn't a lot of sun, so I trimmed the top and replanted it, as shown in the second photo.

You did great by cutting it - decapitating or beheading - and re-rooting the top. What did you do with the lower part (with roots)?

It was really etiolated-stretched. Consider getting some supplementary lights to keep it from happening again this winter.

One think I will comment on: the container you used...while it may be nice, it probably doesn't have drainage hole. That isn't best for succulents. Also, it has narrower top, and that could make it bit more difficult to get plant out when needed. And,transparent containers let light onto soil, and encourage growth of algae. That isn't dangerous to plants, just unsightly. Looking at the mix you used, I would add more perlite to it. Here is pic of the mix of soil and perlite, in 1:1 ratio (pic from one of our members Crenda):

I am not sure about attempting your plant to bloom...did you get instructions on how to do it from somewhere? Pls. share...

I am looking into getting supplementary lighting this winter, especially as the amount of plants I have now has grown!

I took the leaves off the lower part to propagate them; I now have many small additional succulents! There were also several offshoots that grew from the root that I've cut off and planted as well.

His new container, the white one in the original photo, does have drainage holes. The top is probably a bit narrow still, but I'm looking for something bigger. The glass jar did grow algae, which was cool, but not what I was trying for.

Thank you very much for the soil suggestion! I actually did some research and a lot of repotting this summer. I got the Miracle gro Cactus, Palm and Citrus mix and then added additional Perlite based on the information I found on this website:

So it definitely drains better than what I had.

On getting succulents to bloom, I've been reading these articles:

Succulents need good drainage and good light/sunlight all the times, not only when you want to for them to bloom. I was wondering about the instructions, since I do not do anything different for them. They bloom when they want IMO. There are many instructions about holiday cacti for example - I never did what they say and they bloom regardless. I keep outside all succulents+other plants as long as possible. Some will bloom better if they spend some time there, but I would keep them outdoors regardless if I like them to bloom or not. On some, I sometimes cut the inflorescence off - most often haworthias. They get really long inflos, and blooms are quite insignificant. There are some plants that are monocarpic - blooming plant dies when finished. For example some kalanchoes, sempervivums (hardy succulents) and few more. I read that inflo could be cut off to 'save' the plant - I do not know if that works because I never tried. Those plants grow offsets anyway to replace themselves.

I asked what you did with the beheaded plant - and you did great. This particular plant grow really well and easy, as you already found out! Not all of them do so well, and are bit more finicky. Some will not even propagate from leaves but from stem cuttings, and few only from the seeds.
