Succulent ID help

10 years ago

I have 3 new succulents I just received as gifts but I am not positive what they are. I believe at least 2 to be echeveria species but I'd like more reliable feedback. Thank you

So incredibly variable! It's a solid low maintenance plant that is also incredibly rewarding. It blooms long, for well over a month, and then sets plantlets all along the bloom stalk once the blooms fade. The plantlets take root so easily (just twisting them off- no roots) that I had a 100% success rate with hardly any effort or attention. Full sun provides a neon pink that's almost hard to look at. Some shade provides a lemon-lime green that is worthy of admiration for color and structure of leaves. And then there are all the in-betweens. Yellow, orange, pink. It's a good plant and one that I most often gift to friends that have black thumbs. If you see one, take it home. It's worth it.

I agree first 2 are Echeverias, third might be a Crassula species..

They all look like echeveria to me, though I don't know specific hybrid names.

The third is the one that really threw me off. I just started succulent planting for the first time. So I've been doing as much research as possible. Thank you

Now not so sure about third one. Maybe you're right, breton.

#2 - possibly E. Doris Taylor?

Post a photo of the first one when blooms open.

Third might be crassula capitella 'campfire'. I'm on iPhone and the photo shows a bit distorted, but it looks very much in form, color and offset like the C. capitella that I have in about 50% shade. In full sun, they blush an almost neon pink-orange with stouter shorter leaves.

Capitella, that's the one I was thinking of! From what I have seen this is a very variable species..

For the third: a very young Crassula arborecens sp undifoliata (but with lots of doubts.)
