What type of Echie do I have?
Hey everyone,
Iβve had this guy for several months now, and itβs been growing beautifully. I initially identified it as a Galaxy Blue Echeveria, but after seeing it grow and sprout offshoots, Iβm starting to question that. Iβm thinking it may not even be an Echie at this point β maybe a grapto of some sort?
I just chopped and propped this lengthy offshoot, too, and want to add it to my collection as its own plant, so Iβm hoping to correctly ID them both.
What do you guys think?

@SucculentSavant I believe what you chopped was a flower stalk. It might be some sort of sedum hybrid. It is gorgeous. Hope you get a correct ID.
@SucculentSavant looking at it, it looks like it might be a ghost plant (graptopetalum).
@FairyFly it never crossed my mind that it might be a flower stalk, but would make a lot of sense! I was curious as to why it was so leggy. Never propagated something like that before, so itβll be interesting to see what it grows into πΏ
@FairyFly the graptopetalum was my next best guess. It would also make sense if itβs a hybrid of some sort, because I canβt ID it for the life of me π thanks for the input!
To tell you the truth @SucculentSavant, you can propagate it, it will probably root very well, but it will most likely just produce more flowers. Please update us, that would be cool if it took off and started branching like an antler!
@FairyFly Thatβd be so cool. I was 50/50 between chopping it or not, but didnβt feel it had much more room to grow. Iβll be monitoring it closely and will definitely post updates! π
