Need help identifying these 2 succulents

10 years ago

Im looking for the name of these succulents and how to care for them. I had them outside all summer and have now brought them in. The rose shaped one has faded somewhat in color now and is loosing its outer leaves.. It did bloom on a long stock yellow and pink flowers and is planted in a pot about 10 inches diameter.. The other seems to grow somewhat like a Jade? It is loosing its lower leaves now

Sort by:Oldest

Top one....echeveria elegans, maybe? Don't rely on this, it's just a guess as it looks like mine!

Think last one is a euphorbia of some kind...if so, beware of its white sap in eyes etc, etc, can be an horrendous irritant, and much worse. Definitely not a Jade of any kind.

Someone else will confirm...or deny!

The 2nd is Senecio barbertonicus, which can get huge in the ground.

Ha, how wrong was my guess! Told you I wasn't any good didn't I?

First one looks like Echeveria secunda, especially with all the pups.

Thank you for the name suggestions..it sure helped and gave me a starting place for the first one. I think maybe ? it may be the Echeveria Imbricata. Seems right for the size and colour it was in the summer. It was about 19-20cm in diameter. Now I have a starting place to see how to care for it. I am concerned that it has lightened drastically since bringing it in and all are loosing a lot of outer leaves. I hope I havent lost it. The second most definitely is that. The one at the garden center where I purchased this one from had one that was a few feet high and reminded me of a large Jade the way the trunk was woody and spread out. It seems to be doing ok so far after bringing in so fingers crossed on that one..
