    Hello all,

    Please can anyone with expertise in succulent identification help me find the name of this plant?

    Pup 2000.jpg
    Picture 1 - Pup (baby) from parent plant.

    Parent 2000.jpg
    Picture 2 - Parent plant

    Colour may be misleading as the two pictures were photographed with different lighting.

    All I know is that it was originally from a mix of cacti and succulents bought from a garden centre. I now have 7 pups + the parent plant.

    I would be grateful for any help.

    Best Regards

    Ademission

    Stay safe.

    Hi @Ademission , it could be Pachyphytum of some kind. I killed mine after it grew leggy and straggly, but some of the leaves fell off and rooted so now I'm doing round two :biggrin:

      It could be one of the Echeverias.

        Must admit I looked at it yesterday and thought Echiveria and then maybe not.
        It appears to be more of one of those hybrid type thingy watsits. Or Maybe @Selleri has nailed it.;)

          Hi Selleri,

          I've just been looking on the web at various Pachyphytum. Although my plants are very similar, I have also been looking at Echeverias (thanks for this suggestion Victoria) on photographs and these appear to be more similar. One picture I found seemed to be exactly the same.

          Well done by the way in propagating the Pachyphytum.

          Thanks to all for your suggestions

          Best Regards

          Ademission

          Victoria,

          I think you are right. I found a picture on the web that was very very similar to my plant. It was labelled Echeveria Laui.

          I'll go with this unless I find something even closer.

          Best regards and thanks

          Hi pete,

          After Victoria's suggestion I trawled the web for Echeveria and found a near perfect match so I'm going with Echeveria Laui unless I find a better match.

          Thanks for your help

          Best Regards

            Well, they are never easy to nail down,
            Different growing conditions can give different appearances.

              I have / had Escheceria secunda. I say have / had because I am getting rid of all my small succulents.
