Post by bluedrinks »

i found this at the 99 centsa store last year along with a bunch of other cacti and succulents.of course none of them were tagged but that meant little to me when i could score dozens of different cacti for just 99 cents.

This plant has brown succulent leaves with the bottoms an off white.

anyone know what this is

Hi there,

I must admit I have never seen a plant quite like this one. Having said that I am pretty sure it is a Crassula, but what species I don't know.

Almost all Crassulas grow their leaves opposite each other which your plant seems to be doing. If I can come up with a species name I will let you know.

Cheers
John

Hi,

As I said the plant belongs to the Crassula family, try this and see what you think, it is the closest I could find.

I cannot find anything else with a leaf colour like that.
