Hi, I bought this at WM and of course there were no label. I tried to look online without any success. Anyone know what this can be?
I'm somewhat concerned about a few dry spots on the side, close to the top... is that some sort of damage?

Also am wondering what that other succulent next to it, it is little tall branch that seem to like water...

Plant was probably subjected to physical trauma earlier (probably landed on its head), new growth with healthy spine is already pushing the injured section downward. In time, these scars would be buried near the base...so nothing to worry about. The succulent looks like some sort of sedum, but I'm no expert with succulent.

Agreed on Parodia magnifica, the little succulent looks like a rather etiolated Crassula mucosa. Both plants could use a bit more light.

Thank you! I now know what this babe is :)

I'm pretty sure the damage is from me pulling off the ridiculous fake flower that was glued to it. I didn't realize that it has grown this much.
