Hello, I've just bought a seemingly conifer plant last Saturday. I've been searching for it but I'm still not sure what it is. It has blue tips. I've thought that it could be "Blue Star Juniper" or Golden Crest/Lemon Cypress. But I never really saw very close-up pictures of these plants to see if there are also blue tips on them. It's getting a bit dry and brittle and I just want to know what exactly it is to know what is the appropriate care for it. This is only my second plant and and I'm new to this. I'll show some pics of it for you to see. Thank you in advance! Btw, sorry for the low quality of the pics.

Looks interesting, for a second I thought it might actually be some sort of cristate form conifer, but I think it's actually either cactus or succulent. Maybe Crassula Argentea "Coral"
Rhipsalis cereuscula

Sort by:Oldest

Abies koreana? Maybe Silberperle or one of the other cultivars with silver foliage. Some better pictures would be useful.

Thank you, guys. I searched all of your suggestions but unfortunately, they don't look the same as mine. I took some shots again. Hope they can be useful.

Have you tried the Cacti & Succulents Forum?

Probably some kind of new or not generally familiar tropical Selaginella or similar.

My first thought was Lycopodium, that or Huperzia may be the best names to follow up on. The blue tips are probably a dye job done to make it temporarily more interesting.

Some florists are now coloring plant blooms and other plant parts with paint. Is that this? Or are those the actual colorations? In any case, I ain't never seen one like that before!

I am sure it was artificially colored.
