Help succulent ID please

10 years ago

Hi, I brought these 2 new plants in the afternoon and I'm curious about its names. Do you all know about their names?

Just asking out of curiosity, do you all know why is the tip of this plant turning white? I suspect that its because it do not have enough water..

And half of this have withered :(

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi greenclaws, i doubt its overwatering though.. I just brought it from the store and the people most probably don't water it. And yep, it does have holes below. The other is just withered up. Is it possible that its very old and its starting to harden up?? I came across reading that cactus will have woody stem when they are old enough.. Is it possible that it applies to this plant? Or... it may be sunburnt? :p

    Hi rina, I'm a bit confused. What are referring to fuzzy?

  • 10 years ago

    Sorry, fuzzy leaves.

    BTW, depending on the store - but vast majority just overwaters succulents. They have watering days (which are quite often) and everything gets water at the same time. What is in that soil - it does look very wet to me too.

    For this plant?


    and yes its centre does look fuzzy to me. I think its mostly peat though.

    hi hablu, it doesnt look like a lenophyllum for me though... its leaves are relatively fine and skinny

    Neither of these are cacti, so hardening off or corking doesn't not apply here.

    We're all quite familiar w/ how these plants are overwatered (It's just you who isn't). We're all assuming you bought it at some kind of BBS.

    It's not just too much water, too often (which you seem to be doubting), we know from ample experience, it's the TYPE OF MIX that's the problem, holding on to far too much water & making your new plants vulnerable to rot.

    The Gollum (1st plant) is potted too deeply in that mix, which makes it even more prone to rotting issues. When you repot into into correct mix (at least 50% Cactus & Succulent mix & 50% Perlite), pls. seat the plant higher in the pot so its base won't seat in the mix & rot before the roots get re-established.

    second plant is either senecio scaposus or a fuzzy echeveria. Its not developed enough to be identified properly.

    Garrett, that's why I asked about 'fuzzy' - the tubular leaves do not look like echeveria...I had to look up S. scaposus - not familiar with it.

    Are there any round, dark, hard dots on the plant at all? I'd check this out in case the damage is due to scale insects having a feast. It's hard to say without a closer look at the damage but it does look similar to what I've had to deal with on my succulents recently. If you see any tiny, grey insects crawling around then spray them with an insecticide immediately.
