Gardening with Kids Cacti & Succulents Botany

What is this succulent?

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Hi! I'm home schooling and studying botany. I have a plant and I've done research and still have no idea what it is. It flowered from summer and the flowers died late in the fall. What is the plant, what are the flowers, and how can we help it grow more flowers in the future and be healthy? Thanks! (I'm using my mom's account.)

It's an echeveria but there are zillions of species and cultivars so difficult to get any more specific. Although you might find one of the succulent gurus on the Cacti and Succulents forum that could narrow things down for you :-)

The good news is that all echies require similar care so just Googling that name should turn up all sorts of informative websites.
