#1: are the leaves slightly fuzzy (velvety)?

#7: community pots has few euphorbias in it besides cacti.

Thanks rina!!

True, I think I recognize some in the front of that pot are euphorbia!

Its sort of matte and yes velvety indeed! Not plasticky/shiny. What do you think? I'm at a complete loss..

edit: added a sort of better pic..

Could it be crassula namaquensis?

Yay! Yes definitely looks like it! they're not fuzzy but it might be diff growing conditions, they're definitely velvety. Thank you rina : )

I have 1 leave that I am trying to root, that looks very similar. It feels like velvet, not really fuzzy. Unless someone else confirms, just get it to bloom :)...that would help to ID it.

Rina

I think the Crassula is springtime

I considered C. springtime, I used to have one - but the leaves on my plant were little more pointy - of course, it could have been mislabeled:

Rina

2. Looks like it might be Lithops julii? Lithops are normally pretty uniform, but the way the heads are clustered together it could be one plant. When you repot, you'll know for sure. Second guess would be Lithops hallii.

whoops reaching my data limit so have to go back to using hotel's wifi.

I'll try rina! It looks like its susceptible to mealies, grow in winter, and probably likes gritty mix...definitely not in gritty mix now but doesn't seem to mind it yet. The plant I got seem to have marks on it...maybe mealies..not really sure. Woww!!....that is such a perfect ball of flowers. How long have you had that one? Is yours also in gritty?

Thanks Harry! I was going to say the color is off but I see the similarities now, because the plant I got seem to also have pointy leaves and is stacked in that star/cross way. But it doesn't seem to have that concave thing the c. springtime has. Both seem to have that velvety texture.

Edited 10/11/15 3:59 PM: Oh..take that back..I see two concave leaves on this plant as well.

ewwmayo- I just realized something...so I googled those two julii and hallii and it seems like lithops will look different even when they're same species? Is it because the markings just vary...and even deepen/change over time/as the lithop stone ages? According to this flowering lithops site about julii "Description:Enormously variable, some specimens being opaque and almost uniform in colour, others opaque but strongly reticulated with fine impressed markings, yet others with largely open obscurely transluscent windows. "

Well that doesn't make things complicated at all. lol.

I wonder what #4 is...I feel like I've seen it recently. It's like some sort of..iceplant..but with branches.

Number 4 is a Kalanchoe

Harry

Oh not the kalanchoe in the back, sorry I couldn't put my phone right up to the plant cause I didn't want to hit anything, no I meant the plant in front of the kalanchoe. It has these woody straight stems and little green iceplant-ish leaves growing out of them?

I am sorry to say "I had it" - for 2 years, and I don't know what I did to make it RIP.

I think I probably under-watered it. The stem got really dry (not rot). It was nice plant...Rina

: ( It looked really good! I seem to underwater a bunch of mine too, and then when I notice something's off, I react by overwatering.

I just found this page on succulents.us by chance. I think a hybrid cultivar...called morganian 'Morgan's beauty'

Looks similar..but yeah I see why flowers are so important for ID.

Yes, I had it wrong. Indeed 'Morgans Beauty' (should have checked before posting; sorry)

Harry

the sticks: ???Sedum oxypetalum????

Crassula 'Morgan's Beauty', I don't think the Morganian name means anything at all.

Brad

For Crassula 'Morgan's Beauty' ensure airflow to prevent mould on the lower leaves. Also try to have a top layer that doesn't retain a lot of water for the same reason.

HAhaha...okay thanks Brad. Going to confess 'morganian' sounded very cool.

Harry- I actually drove back just now (have the rental to myself today) and asked, the vendor says it's actually a "pine tree jade" which I googled and I'm guessing means crassula tetragona. She said it was big and then it got eaten by "a spider" or maybe she meant spider mites so she had to cut it back severely. So thaaat's how they look in the beginning...

ewwmayo- after reading the other thread about how important airflow is for keeping succulents pest free...I'm beginning to take this airflow factor more seriously. I can do gritty and dry top dressing (probably chicken grit) but yeah airflow is gonna be a problem since I keep all my plants up against a window that's never opened (and if opened..will lower the temps too much). I could get a fan (eh...with winter coming...).

I like how evenly sized your leaves are! You didn't try cutting the top off did you? Just asking because the succulents.us website page said for c. morgan's beauty: "Cutting tops makes new your plants and parent plants fuller." <--Not really sure what that means and this plant is so tightly packed it would probably be a bad idea for me to try anything advance with this.

Nice, intense color on your lithops, I'm glad I learned this fact about them. I think it's strange for plants to have different patterns despite being the same type.

Random story: So I was browsing through the same plant vendor where I got the p. oviferum and lithops, and been eyeing this small astrophytum asterias specimen (2" wide), the actual shopkeeper wasn't there, the lady working was a sort of fill-in person and so I asked her how much for that, she said oh I don't know...maybe $5? Maybe $3?

I was thinking "whaaaaa I don't think so" and then she texted the actual owner who said oh it's $9. "Shoulda taken me on that other offer eh?"

Felt kinda bummed because of that follow-up comment- lol did she really want me to reverse-price gouge her? Then I was wondering if I would have actually tried to...ah dilemmas..

And okay yes I know $9 is not the end of the world but it was for a tiny one..AND it was sitting next to another asterias that was rotten. Didn't get it.

Went back to this other store that I got the morgan's beauty and c. ovata tricolor from and got two small pots of....Haworthia retusa...and some sort of liliput gasteria variegated..

Ealdwood - After using some fans for some time now indoors, I think they are very helpful if you have any fuzzy succulents. Under lights, I think fans are pretty much essential.

I did not attempt cutting the top off my Morgan's Beauty. Seems like a strange thing to try to be honest... What I've done for now is put mine fairly close to my lights, which has slowed down the top growth and increased the lower.

That's a pretty sweet Gasteria bicolor var. liliputana variegata. I'd never seen a variegated one around here in stores. I just have the normal one.

You should have took the Astrophytum for $3. =P
