Succulent ID

11 years ago

i can't actually remember what this was, though it was the cutest little cutting when I bought it. Looked like a jade but definitely was not, and if I recall correctly, wasn't even a Crassula of any kind.

It's now huge and I have cuttings everywhere that get equally large. Full sun, some shade, whatever -- the thing is happy as long as it's watered perfectly.

It keeps falling over which is why it's so bent to one side, so I am just about to pot it up and cut it down some, but then got curious what this was called.

Thanks, guys!

Is it some kind of Senecio, perhaps?

Unanswered posts get lost/drop down the line as new ones are posted...so posting anything will bring it up to top again, hopefully will get noticed and answered...On Garden Web, unanswered posts stayed on top until someone posted - would be good if houzz did the same.

Neil, it's when Rina takes pity on my unanswered question and responds with a bump to throw it to the top of the list LOL.

Breton, I don't think it said senecio. I didn't want to mention it in case I was wrong and merely threw off correct answers, but if my old brain recalls correctly, I think it was a sedum of some sort. I think this because I recall thinking it looks like no sedum I am accustomed to, but....my brain is full and anything in excess of vital information is purged weekly with a glass of scotch, LOL.

When I got this, it was a single trunk 6-7" tall piece. It's since branched off a lot as well as being put in with cuttings of its own, and in various pots. Right now it's about a 13-14" tall....and looks like it will get taller. I was hoping to ID it so I now what to repot it in since clearly, this pot ain't gonna work. Lol Just keeps tipping over.

Hi, I thought it looked similar to Sedum praelatum from Mexico. Could look a bit strange if it's not getting enough overhead sun. They do grow fast and up to 60cm in the ground.

BARRANCODANORA, that's it!! (Your name is exclamation enough lol.)

Thank you so much. Now I know what to do with it--I'm putting it in the ground. I think I will try to injure a section to see if I can get it to crest. :-)

Yes, it was one tallish cutting when I got it but then it started growing massively all around. Now I have bits and pieces everywhere so I'm good with this one going into the ground.

Thank you SO much for the ID. And Neil, for the bump LOL! See, it worked! ;-)
