Could use some ID help on the following plants

Post by bornslippy_nuxx »

Hi everyone, so grateful for any help you can lend us! I'm a novice at this, and we have some plants in our collection that we currently can't identify.

Image
This guy came with a tag that said "Aloe", but that's it.

Image

Image
If I remember correctly, this guy grows long and tall.

Image
Maybe the same species as above? I'm not sure :(

Image
I have a feeling the two little ones are Graptopetalum amethystinum, given what I've googled, but I never got the name of the original plant. Also not sure what that other cutting is that I have in there.

Image
Echevaria of some kind, maybe?

Image
Potentially the same as above, I'm not sure if they came from the same plant.

Thanks!

Fantastic, thank you! From what I read, the younger ones are the ones that form in kind of a "v-shape", while the older ones branch out a little more to look more aloe-y. Does that sound right? It would make sense then that maybe this plant is a little more established and not necessarily a juvenile plant.

#1 loks like Haworthia venosa v. tesselata, although with longer thinner leaves. Maybe it's just been grown in failry low light conditions?
It still looks health and vigorous.

Wow, great ID. I would have never thought to look at H. venosa but I just googled it and found a picture almost identical to the plant I have. Thanks!

Yes, that seems right. The one I have is still v-shape but it's rather small. If that's your feet in the picture it looks rather big :-)

Yes, a form of Haworthia venosa ssp. tessellata (there are several)
Gasteria (could be 'Little Warty', as suggested). Some Gasteria stay distichous (v-shaped), others make a rosette as they mature (swirl around)
Looks like Sedum adolphi
Seems to be an xGraptosedum
Others are too small to ID. Wait till they grow more & post again.

Thank you Rosemarie! I'll be sure to post some pictures of the little guys when they're a bit bigger and easier to identify. At that same time I'll probably be posting about these guys...

Cuttings that we used for our wedding - hoping most of them take root! Haven't the faintest idea what most of them are. Although I notice some C. ovata and maybe some P. afra as well.

Congrats on your nuptials!

Besides the names you have already, look up these guys & match to your cuttings:
Crassula ovata 'Hummel's Sunset'
Crassula 'Campfire'
(maybe) Crassula tetragona (but doesn't look dark enough green)
Carpobrotus (maybe edulis)
Graptosedum 'Ghosty'
Aeonium haworthii
Cotyledon tomentosa (fuzzy bear paws)
Sedum rubrotinctum (Jelly Beans)
Echeveria pulvinata (fuzzy)
(maybe) Aptenia cordifolia

If you have leftovers, post them. :)
