Identification Help?

Post by cecilseed »

I'm worried about this one, I bought it a few weeks ago and it's putting out growth that's green but the leaves are pure purple, it seems pretty healthy although when I got it it was a little worse for wear.

It looks like an Anacampseros.
There are several fairly similar-looking species.
Heathly leaves range across purple / green / reddish colours.

The new leaves show a trace of purple, that will increase as they mature if it's in bright light. Here's one from a nursery ad that looks just like it - http://www.ctsairplants.com/v/vspfiles/ ... U101-2.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
