The way the tips change color, my guess is Graptosedum Francesco Baldi, but thereโ€™s so many kinds out there it can be so hard identifying ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ you have a beautiful succulent tho!
PEARL ECHEVERIA ๐Ÿ˜
@ahendersonn itโ€™s a Ghostplant.
Hereโ€™s more pictures of her since July. I canโ€™t find anything older than. I didnโ€™t get it online from what i can tell. So it must have been like a Home Depot or Loweโ€™s plant.
@KikiGoldblatt @AHassona I donโ€™t think itโ€™s a ghost plant. Doesnโ€™t really look like my other ghosts lol. And i canโ€™t find any similar plants of pearl echeveria to compare.
@ahendersonn I agree: not a Ghost. It does look like an Echeveria though ... @vvvelo are you available to help this morning?
@vvvelo are you able to help. I was going based on LeafSnap.
@ahendersonn nope it is not a ghost plant. I agree with you. As for me it looks like Pachyphytum and Graptopetalum at the same time.
Does it look similar to this one?
@vvvelo Maybe! She does have similar leaves as my Pachyphytum hookeri but they have totally different colors.
@ahendersonn as for me the color depends on many thingsโ€ฆ
@vvvelo @sarahsalith @Propa I think I found some earlier (April/July) photos of her. And then I beheaded it.

But the leaf shape is so variable and was a lot more elongated in some photos.
@vvvelo Iโ€™m definitely going with a Pachyphytum of some kind. I bet she was probably one of the 2/10 unlabeled at Home Depot ๐Ÿคฃ
Isn't it amazing how the plants can change SO MUCH?! I love that they can change colors, too. (:

If you showed me the pictures from April/July, I would have guessed Ghost. They can change so much!
Also has sedervia shaped leaves. But Pachyphytum starburst looks pretty similar. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
@sarahsalith i know!! But during my transition to the different soils I lost plants and still was buying plants and plants accidentally got renamed or I lost the progress. Sooo Iโ€™m like โ€œI have no idea when I got this or what she looked like beforeโ€ ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
Oh wow, and the label on her says Ghosty ๐Ÿ˜‚ she has changed a lot! With Echeveria, their leaves are more spoon shaped, and with Pachyphytum theyโ€™re more rounded and plump, Graptoโ€™s are kind of a mix of the 2-but they are definitely thicker than Echeveria leaves and thinner then Pachs.
@ahendersonn there are a lot of moon silver and little J in Home Depot.
@Propa i initially named it Ghosty because i thought thatโ€™s what it was. The same Ghosty was also Milo. And then when i changed her soil whoever she was got lost and got renamed. Which is why Iโ€™m not sure how long Iโ€™ve even had it ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
@vvvelo Iโ€™m going with moon silver for the time being. I think its most accurate for right now.
@ahendersonn oh I gotcha ๐Ÿ˜‚ it happens believe me ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ

I know I'm incredibly late to this ID party... however, I stumbled upon it looking for an old graptopetalum post of mine...

And I know the species โ€” It's a lesser known sub species of Graptopetalum paraguayense! ๐Ÿ™‚

PARAGUAYENSE ssp. BERNALENSE (Kimnach & Moran, 1986)

It differs from ssp. paraguayense in that it's smaller & colored yellowish, cream, or muted green.

It's easy to see the difference when you put both of them in the bowl like I have them growing - ๐Ÿ“ธ ... they look very different!

Here are two web pages for reference:

@RJG I've been meaning to ask,
Can you add the subspecies to Greg? ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Thank you! โ™ฅ
@roxyvivien gorgeous reference (as always ๐Ÿฅฐ) better late than never! ๐Ÿ˜‚
@roxyvivien if you email support@greg.help with the exact species you need that'll be easier. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
@RJG you got it! ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ’š Thank you!
@Propa @roxyvivien @vvvelo @sarahsalith @TwistedThreads @AHassona
Graptosedum Francesco Baldi for the win!!! Look at those similarities!
