A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Cacti and Succulents Indoors Do you know what kind of plant i have?

Hi, i bought this little plant from a store in NYC and was told it was a Jade plant but when looking up Jade plants and types i dont see any that look like mine. The leaves are lighter and have more pointed leaf and they look kinda of rose like the way it grows. I had to repot it because it was growing out of the pot it came in and i hope i used the right stuff, I was told by the store to use this desert mix which was white and gritty sandy like but when i took it out of the smaller pot i saw it had more regular soil at the bottom then i thought. If anybody knows would be very appreciated thanks!!

Hello and Good Afternoon Meow,
Compiments to you, you have a lovely and healthy looking little plant. It looks to me like a variety of succulent commonly known as "Hens n' Chickens", comical name but I am serious.
I also believe it is one of the Crassulaceae family, Sempervivum genus, although I do not know the specific Species.
It was correct to pot it in a cactus and succulent mix, with good drainage, be careful not to overwater! I am also sure this little plant will propagate itself quite rapidly and you should get lots of enjoyment out of watching it flourish.
Hope I was helpful to you.
Cordially
Sharon

sharon did well, except i don't think it is in the hens 'n chicks family. another crassulae i'm sure.


it does look like a very heathly plant!

I believe it 's a Echeveria 'Lola' or one very similar But definitely a Echeveria
and Sharon and Jiffy is right it's from the
Family of Crassulaceae~

cactus/ succulent soil the soil to pot it in,,

You can go here and click on the left side of the page On the arrows Previous next,, to view many echeveria (s),, Yours looks soooo close to soo many,, maybe this will help you decide which it is, I have to refer to this my self as I have one I still need to ID,, I guess I'd better take my own advice,,

Thanks so much for your help! after looking through that site it definetly most resembles the Lola plant. It hasnt bloomed any flowers though but its still young and maybe the ny noise scares it!
Thanks again!
