Was given by a friend. I need the plant name so that I can google around and look for more info to take care of it, for e.g. how frequent shall I water it .etc. Thanks a million.
HI There #2 might b a Haworthia attenuata ya might want to look it up in google .. it is in the succulant family .. same with #1 I have seen them around but i dont know the name of them .. but yours seems to b doin really good .. just keep doin what ever u r doin to it .. it is about to flower ..i would just start goin thru some succulant databases on google .. im sure u will find it .. they r kinda common .. Walmart has had them for sale ..good luck with them Marn
Thanks Marn for the #2 name. Found it already. But #1 I can't find under Echeveria, and as you can see It's petals are dropping off 1 by 1. More description :- - It's petal are very thick (about 5mm) and If I break it into half, it contains a lot of water. - My condition might not be right for the plant. I'm living in tropical country with temp. 27-32 Celcius. I've shift the plant indoor to avoid direct sunlight. Hope that is a wise decision. - Watering frequency is 2 days once. I have no idea if it's too much or too little water. But when I break the fallen petals, I notice it seems very healthy inside. Hope I can get a description b4 it die. Thanks everyone.
Hey Dom Ive posted your pic on another site I belong to .. im sure I will get a ID from there .. i will let u know as soon as i find out.. it is buggin me cause i know ive seen this plant b 4 .. and being a succulant ya might not want to water as much unless it gets really dry .. Marn
The size of the pot could be affecting it. Xerophytic plants have much bigger root systems than most plants so it might need a bigger pot. They're also used to high temperatures, high sunlight and dry soil so I wouldn't worry about that. They also don't like too much wind (!). Heather
this is the reply i got about your plant .. Welllll, it's definitely in the family Crassulaceae. The flower spike makes me think of Echeveria, but it could also be Graptoveria. It looks fuzzy in the pic - is it? There are some fuzzy Echeverias, but if it's one of them, it needs more light, which will help it become more compact and Echeveria-looking. Maybe you could post a pic of the flowers when they open. so hopefully it will still b around when it bloom and u can get a pic of it and post it .. just keep babying it till then ..lol. good luck with it Marn
Thanks for everyone's help. I think this is the name Aeonium lindleyi, Marn might be correct it's from Crassulaceae Family. But it does look a little different from mine, I don't know this is because mine is still a baby and this pic is an adult plant. Someone may try to confirm for me. Well, according to this website : http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Crassulaceae/Aeonium_lindleyi.html , it needs Infrequent deep watering, and temp shud be 50°F (10°C). Hopefully this is the right plant, and if it is, I think i've watered too much. It gets almost once a day watering, but shallow.
domcruise: Look up Graptopetalum paraguayense, or Ghost Plant. I think you will find what you are looking for there.
