Succulent ID
Any one knows what this is? Glaucous powdery leaves, branching habit slow grower. I think it's a graptopetalum species. Ideas?

Re: Succulent ID
Maybe Graptovera "Moonglow"? Or a similar hybrid?

Yes they look very similar. Thanks!esp_imaging wrote:Maybe Graptovera "Moonglow"? Or a similar hybrid?

Re: Succulent ID
Following stephan's reply i got to this link. Pachyveria bill baker. Looks exactly like mine. I was sure it had some echeveria lauii in it and i juat proved it.

Re: Succulent ID
Elie, bill baker does not have the acute (pointy) leaf tip that your's does. There are so many graptos and echiverias and pachys and hybrids that I have virtually no labels in mine. Finding out is one of those "someday" projects that has not happened yet in years...

Re: Succulent ID
I agree with Shmuel here. It's hard to id plants from just a rosette, as many features can vary between individual plants of the same clone.
Some features, such as leaf width, length and leaf density on the rosette will vary dependent on culture - grow a plant warm, damp and in lower light and the leaves will become longer, narrower and the rosette will become more open than if grown cooler and/or in more sun.
Other features, such as leaf pointyness are more diagnostic as they vary less with culture. Your plant has much pointier leaves than Elie's suggestion, so I don't think it is correct.
So I still think "Graptoveria "Moonglow" or a similar hybrid" is a decent id. I don't think it's reasonable to get a definitive id, as there are lots of very similar cultivars. Flowers would help greatly.

Re: Succulent ID
I kind of zoned out on this one since succulents don't interest me that much but i liked the color. After checking again i think you are right but i guess it's far from flowering size. Thanks again!

Here's a living example:
