Labeled as Echeveria

Post by Paolowa »

Hello. I got my plant in October 2019, it was labeled as Echeveria. I had removed some lower leaves and tried to propagate it, unsuccessfully. It is growing fast.
I'm not sure about that echeveria label. I was trying to find a plant that grows similar. Unsuccessfully.

Any idea what it is?
Thanks in advance.

It has pachyphytum in its DNA, beyond that , not a clue. Too etiolated.
Edit: spelt wrong

I'm not sure. Could be Graptopetalum. Maybe something else too.

My guess would be pachyveria.
Plant was already etiolated in a fall and with luck of light, warm room and some water it kept growing and growing all winter.
My rescue plan would be:
- cut top 2cm off, let it dry for a few days and put to root
- break off bottom third and forth leaf and put on dry compost to root
- gradually introduce remaining plant to much stronger light and wait for a small pup to grow then detach it, root and grow to a nice plant that could be properly IDed

Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions!
I've decided that I'll let it grow how it grows, little weird, but I don't want to risk with propagation.. Last time with this plant none of about 9leaves survived.
Except that etiolation, it looks healthy. I agree that it was already etiolated when I got it, there was more of them like this one, it was a discount.
It is placed on south-west window sill, getting sunlight 1-7pm. Central European climate.
