Help identifying succulents

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

My sibling got these a couple years ago and I've been trying to identify them, but haven't had any luck so far. Both are from Walmart so I'd assume they are some common variety. I'm pretty sure they are not getting enough sun right now, but I'd also like to know what kind to make sure they are getting the correct care & what they should look like when healthy.

The first one is in a 3-inch pot, pale green, which some slight pink coloring on the tips. Leaves are somewhat thick and curve inward slightly. (Might have some very slight pale blue coloring to it)

The second one seems to be two different types of plants, though they came in the same pot when bought. Both in 2-inch pots. The tips were recently cut off of the first one, it tends to just grow a new one from wherever it is cut. The second one has also started showing pink on the underside of the leaves.

Any help in identifying these would be appreciated, thank you!

The first one may be a light-hungry Echeveria colorata. The pointy tips are what make me think so. Although it would be easier to tell if the plant was given more light.

The second one is very hard to ID due to the fact that it is incredibly etiolated (stretched) and looking for more light.

I'm not sure about the third one.

Agree with John about 2nd plant being very etiolated...It could be xGraptosedum 'Ghosty' or similar plant (even sedum), but you need to cut it, re-root cuttings, grow them in good light & post pic for ID...blooms would help a lot. (Those long stems will not improve; you can cut them up & re-root each piece.) Grapto I mentioned will have eventually "naked" parts of stems as it matures, but not looking as your plant does. There are few similar-looking plants, so difficult to ID.

Thanks for the help, yeah I though the second might be a sedum but figured it would be hard to know which when its not getting enough light. I'll see if we can try replanting some with a better light source. Any other input on the first and last would would be appreciated as well.
