Help identify this strange succulent
So I've had this succulent for about 2 years now and always thought it was some sort of echeveria. However the weird part is is that it grows etoliated despite receiveing plenty of light. It also goes red when exposed to cold but is usually green by late summer.

Not that strange - looks like an Aeonium, maybe a variety of A. haworthii.

Reminds me Aeonium "Kiwi".

Yes, me too - that is a variety of haworthii, I just wasn't sure.

I don't believe this is any Aeonium. Much less A. Haworthii, or A. Haworthii 'Kiwi'. It lacks the marginal cilia of haworthii Kiwi. Looks more like an echeveria to me.
Here is a photo of A. Haworthii 'kiwi' (Correctly A. Haworthii 'Dream color'). Note the marginal cilia.

Re: Help identify this strange succulent
It doesn't have the toothed edges. It does have very small hairs on the leaves. Also I researched Aeonium and it says they are winter growers but this plant grows in spring/summer. I've added a few more photos of the plant.Aeonium2003 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 2:40 pmgreenknight wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 1:58 pmYes, me too - that is a variety of haworthii, I just wasn't sure.I don't believe this is any Aeonium.

It bears a striking resemblance to my Sedeveria 'Letizia'.
