Help to identify my new plants



Hi there. I have just got these lovely plants from a local garden centre and would love to know what they are called so I can care for them properly and see them thrive. I have been struggling online and wondered if anyone had any ideas. Thanks.

    Both are hybrid succulents.

    first is crassula ovata golum

    second one, pachyphytum oviferum x echeveria- pachyveria rose cultivar name

    this is X gasteraloe.(gasteria species x aloe aristata)

    Wow thanks so much for your help, as the last two are hybrids do you have any advice on how best to care for them as never owned plants like these?

    Repot them. Place them in the sunniest place possible, but gradually(try other windows first. In a couple of weeks, they should be in the brightest spot.

    As for repotting, make sure you clean the soil, and repot them into something porous...

    Thanks the poor little plant was tucked away at the back of a display with lots of other miniature that just said succulent mix. This little one had no name just a price in the garden centre. I thought it looked really pretty and just had to rescue it. It now is in a new pot in pride of place with 2 other Crassulas that I have in my bedroom window.

    Make sure plants get plenty of sunlight - how much is there in your bedrooms window?

    Crassula and xGasteraloe could grow quite large in proper conditions. All of them will become leggy if not enough sunlight.

    The golum has in the bedroom window has direct sunlight and gets a lot of sun. The other 2 are in the kitchen window where it does get sunny but not too much. What do you mean when you say they will become ”leggy”?

    If succulents do not get enough light, they start stretching (etiolate), because they are trying to reach more light. In that situation, they grow long stems, often skinny and weak; leaves are spaced much further apart than they should be. Color of the leaves may get lighter too. Watch also plants indoors that may be receiving reasonable light but start leaning: they lean toward source of light. To remedy that, pot should be turned approx. 1/4 turn every 2-3 weeks, so all sides get exposed to same light. Most succulents grow best if receiving 6hrs/day (or more) of excellent light. There are some succulents that grow well in lower light, example are Sansevierias and Haworthias/Haworthipsis. Your 3 plants will like lots of sunlight. If you have outdoor space, they can be kept there during appropriate weather. If exposing plants to more light than they were in before, make sure to introduce them over few weeks or they may get sunburn (just as we would in sudden, strong sun).
