Help IDing this Succulent I bought at Lowes.
I Am just wanting an ID on this succulent that I bought at Lowes the other day.it came in a tiny pot and was labled "cactus/succulent" Please Help!
Re: Help IDing this Succulent I bought at Lowes.
Kalanchoe. Don't know which one. It looks like the "Mother of Thousands" variety that produces plantlets on the leaf margin and proliferates at an amazing rate. It will like lots of light.
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

Yes, it does. That's odd, though, they're usually sold in bloom.Tony wrote:Looks like kalanchoe blossfeldiana.

Thank you guys so much ! And as far as it being out of bloom, it was sitting on a clearance rack for 1$ and was looking really sad so I decided to rescue it. So , lots of light and you say that it will grow fast? here is a better picture

It looks like Kalanchoe crenata

That could be. Not big enough to be bloomed-out K. blossfeldiana.teo wrote:It looks like Kalanchoe crenata

After researching some more I believe what I have here is kalanchoe sexangularis. What do you guys think? It is winter here and I am not able to get it the sun it needs and I rescued it in bad shape, but I believe it will shape up to be that.
Re: Help IDing this Succulent I bought at Lowes.
Well I think both of those other suggestions, kalanchoe sexangularis and Kalanchoe crenata would be really great finds at lowes.
As always, flowers will seal the deal.

Agreed, not plants you'd expect to find there - but you never know about those big-box stores, unusual plants turn up there sometimes. Hard to say at this point, could be any of those, you need to grow it on and see what it turns into.Tony wrote:Well I think both of those other suggestions, kalanchoe sexangularis and Kalanchoe crenata would be really great finds at lowes.

Sorry I'm late to the party-just now seeing this post. Yes, I believe it is Kalanchoe sexangularis. Flowers should help you confirm. Can you tell if the stem is angled? Kalanchoe longiflora is another you could check into.

Re: Help IDing this Succulent I bought at Lowes.
Hello Rosemarie , thanks for posting. Yes, The stem is angled. It has an almost boxy-like shape to it upon examination, as opposed to perfectly round. does that help with identification? That K. longiflora does look similar however the leaves on this one aren't as wide as in the pictures I was able to find. Although This one is clear still a juvenile and it needs some serious sunlight which I am not currently able to get for it as it is dead of winter here in KY.Rosemarie wrote: Can you tell if the stem is angled?

Here are some updated pictures after growing them outside all season. still no blooms and I have no idea when or how to flower it. it is cooling off here so i have just moved it inside, and it is already trying to etiolate some for the light. Kalanchoe Sexangularis?? i don't know how to fix the sideways pic.
