new succulent look for identification

Post by JudyGW »

I purchased this plant 1 year ago. I have not seen it in flower. It is in a 3" pot so you can see the scale> It is 1.5" high. Very succulent.
Until I know the name I do not know how to care for it. Can anyone help with ID and care....Thank you in advance. I was thinking it might be part of the Bergeranthus family?? But I am a novice to succulents.

I'm fairly sure it's not related to Bergeranthus!

It looks like it needs more light. This means it has grown to be quite open, with longer, thinner leaves than normal.
As for ID, I think it's probably a Haworthia, maybe H. cymbiformis
