Did I Identify my Succulent Correctly?

Hi everyone!

This past year, I successfully propagated a bunch of new little succs from my original batch that are now big enough for their own pots. I attempted to keep track of each propagation’s original plant, but as I’m sure many of you know, it can be a toss up on whether/which plants will grow successfully, and easy to lose track when you’re growing a bunch at once.

You probably also know that baby succs can look quite a bit different than their larger parent plant. So, my current issue is identifying them so I can add them correctly to my Greg stack.

Here is my latest repot. I am thinking it is a Graptoveria Opalina (one of the 12 original plants) but am not entirely sure. App identification is unhelpful, as it gives me a bunch of results that it couldn’t possibly be given my originals.

I tried to get photos from all angles to hopefully help you all take a guess. Any verification or corrections would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I think you are correct! It definitely looks like a graptoveria of some kind for sure! Or a pachyveria or pachyphytum. It’s definitely hard to tell but it’s one of those, I’ll wager. @vvvelo any idea?
@BabeVila thank you for the input! I went ahead and posted her up as a graptoveria for now 🌱☀️
@SucculentSavant I’m so happy you posted this.. I’ve been looking for an identification for one of mine & im 98% sure it’s a graptoveria opalina 😭 @FairyFly check this out out, I think this is 5/6 I’ve been trying to identify on my post!
@Artistic_Stoner and @SucculentSavant I would agree but leaves seem more "plump" and the new growth is rounded and "ballish". From what I've seen, Graptoveria 'Opalina' props seem more pointy. I must say though, that the mother-leaf you have there really does look like the lower leaves of the mature one I found.
Could be some sort of sedum as well.
Might just have to wait till it gets bigger. 😒
@FairyFly an oplalina is the closest between color/leaves & rosettes I can find, I’m convinced this could be it but I’ll wait till the babies are a bit bigger..
You're right @Artistic_Stoner. It's a blessing and curse that there are so many! For both of you, I'd just go with opalina for now.
It doesn’t look like sedum Clavatum because the body is different. Based on the main big leaf I guess this is some kind of Pachyphytum.
@Artistic_Stoner I'm so glad this helped you identify yours too 🤍 🌱
@FairyFly yes, the way the new growth looks compared to the shape of the mother leaf is what's been throwing me off with these. I do think the mother looks a lot like yours - I guess we will see if they start changing shape as they mature 🙏🏽
@vvvelo interesting, I'll have to check my originals to see if I have one
