Succulent ID

Post by LLLcacti »

This is my mother's plant. It has a couple of babies growing under this one and I'd like to know the name so I can appropriately care for and label this guy.

I was thinking the same thing. However, all the ones I looked up have little baby stems and the leaves are much closer together. From Its location, It gets very little light, and a bunch of water. Could that effect the shoot size and leaf spacing?

Looks are variable depending on care & location, yes. I agree with snarfie's ID of K. blossfediana, Flaming Katy. :)
