But I could be wrong and it could be some type of crassula or sedum. I just can't tell for sure. _________________________ ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

Joclyn Deep Purple Registered: 07/18/05 Posts: 2466 Loc: philly	the first one is severely etoliated! it needs much more sun than it's been getting. should look more like a rosette in it's growth pattern!! not sure if it's a crassula or an echeveria or a graptopetalum or a cross. needs MUCH more sun, though, to grow properly!! the second one looks like a crassula. could possibly be p. afra - their stems are usually more woody, though. _________________________ zone 6b

CodyAnne Member Registered: 10/25/07 Posts: 8 Loc: Belleville, IL	Thanks for the help. Joclyn, The first one, that's how it looked when I got it. It gets half a days sun and it still grows that way. I don't know how it can get any more sun.
