Can anyone tell me what succulent this is?
So, I got this new succulent, along with many others, but this one didn’t have anything on it’s plastic holder it came with that told me what type it is, I’m propagating two little bits that came off of it, but that wouldn’t help showing you as they are too small to tell, if anyone knows it’d help I’ve gotten no help from the GregID. #identify #identifymyplant #HelpIdentify #help #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #PlantID

@EarlySoybean5 @fuchsiafairy do all Echeveria’s have the same care? I think that it’s still a baby, so would I just be able to label it as any Echeveria for now and just ask again as it gets older?
@LikelyChaya33 largely the same yes! ones with purples and pinks get more vibrant in intense light, and varigated creams can be more prone to scorch since they lack chlorophyll but a cacti succulent mix in bright direct light and a deep watering when bone dry is all they need to be happy ☺️ you’ll have a better idea of its cultivar when it’s older as well, you’re completely fine just labeling it as a echeveria :)
@fuchsiafairy I planted this one with two more succulents types, I have a duplicate of the same of another in the same pot I hope that’s ok, I’ll check what type they are
@LikelyChaya33 perfect! succulents honestly do better together i keep all mine in a big bowl, they look nicer all together as one big fam too!
@fuchsiafairy they are, Graptosedum ‘Vera Higgins’, and the two that are the same are String of Buttons, they are in an 8.3 pot, is that ok?
@fuchsiafairy Also, random question but what is that top coating on the Echeveria succulents? I noticed it when I was potting them. If you know
@LikelyChaya33 yes! that’s called the epicuticular wax or farina 🤗 it’s like their natural sunscreen and raincoat combined, it also helps protects against pests
@LikelyChaya33 they don’t need much water, so while it’s still a baby I’d give it a tablespoon per 2
Weeks.
Weeks.
1 tablespoon every 2 weeks is not enough. Succulent water needs depend on a variety of factors. The plumper the leaves the more water they hold. Too much afternoon sun will dry them out more quickly. They also don't like wet feet. If over watered they can suffer from root rot. The easiest and most reliable way to water them is using a water meter. I have a simple one as shone, it's $10 on Amazon. It's fool proof as long as you remember to check it once a week. You'll quickly figure out and maintain your plants water needs. If you don't mind spending a bit more they make all in one meters that test not only water, but temperature as well a as sunlight.
This appears to be an Echeveria succulent, potentially a cultivar like 'Morning Beauty' or 'Mira', characterized by its tight rosette form and pinkish leaf edges.The plant is pictured in a small terracotta pot, typical for ensuring proper drainage for these types of succulents.For optimal health, this succulent requires bright, indirect light to maintain its compact shape and vibrant coloring.It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot
