Hi, can anyone identify the names of these please? My husband bought them for me a while back but they arrived nameless. I think the second one is a kalanchoe but I'm not sure about the others.
Can anyone identify these succulents please?

Looking at the code behind the message I can see the links to dropbox images but get an error 403 if I try to follow the links

Yes, they've definitely had too little light and are way too straggly.RICHAUD wrote:The others ones sorry but too etiolated to put a name

Re: Can anyone identify these succulents please?
I agree about the second, Kalanchoe pumila, this should grow into an attractive clump with pretty pale mauve flowers. The third one could be Pachyphytum oviferum and the last possibly a Graptopetalum. Sorry, I'm not sure about the other two.

The first doesn't look bad to me, but I don't grow these plants.
Etiolated is no problem. I am sure with some advice on rooting leaves and cultural advice Mistyhiss can soon grow some very nice plants from these.
And what's not to like anyway? They look healthy to me.

Re: Can anyone identify these succulents please?
Thank you all! They were bought in a batch from Ebay as reduced price plants in winter as they weren't good enough quality to sell full price. A couple arrived with mealy bug and most didn't look particularly happy. They went into quarantine in a separate room to the conservatory and were treated for infestation, hence why they probably became etiolated. The new growth is healthy though (and desirable as the existing leaves were damaged) and I have rooted cuttings. Perhaps these will be easier to identify once they are bigger!

Thanks, really helpful. Just googled Kalanchoe Pumila and it's beautiful, so that's something to look forward to.juster wrote:I agree about the second, Kalanchoe pumila, this should grow into an attractive clump with pretty pale mauve flowers.
