Need help identifying sempervivum? and others

Post by xarbak »

Hi guys,

I have 3 succulents in needs of identification. One of which I think is a sempervivum?
I had these for a while, and it would be helpful to know their names so I can care for them properly.
These are old photos so bare in mind they have been repotted since. :D

Thanks for your help.

I've no idea about the actual species or hybrids, but as a starting point:

1. Peperomia
2. Sedum
3. Sempervivum

#3 is Sempervivum arachnoideum – commonly known as Cobweb Houseleek.

Thank you so much! although I haven't identified whether number 2 is a sedum, but I did however find that the first is a Peperomia ferreyrae.
Greenknight, thank you for confirming. I do remember receiving the cutting and the cob-like hairs were much more visible. I've separated it from the other sempervivums for now, till it wants to grow its own group. Maybe..

They grow more hairy in stronger sunlight, I think. They look pretty good, though, you obviously have them fairly good light.. No maybe about it, you should have lots of them in a few years.
