Hi everyone!

Can someone help me identify this succulent? The closest I’ve gotten to is some trichodiadema. It’s quite tiny.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

i think Cotyledon orbiculata "oophylla" or Lady Fingers succulent, a very unhappy one LOL

#### Jozee29 replied on 2026-07-02

Oh no I thought it was supposed to look like a mini tree LOL I just got this yesterday

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-07-02

oof 😭 i would go back and ask for a refund, they sold you a very unhealthy plant. most bush-like succulents should NOT be bare like that, especially one of that size, one that small should have leaves almost all the way down.

I agree! I hope you can get a refund my plant stores don’t allow it 😭

### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2026-07-02

I agree it looks like a cotyledon but I think maybe it’s a cotyledon tomentosa

This is what I found

ooh yes that looks more like it

### Jozee29 commented on 2026-07-02

I found out from the seller that it’s a drosanthemum globusum that was imported recently so it was already stressed.  
Thank you guys! I’m not familiar with succulents and didn’t realize just how sad mine was LOL I’ll be careful next time. This has turned into a rescue mission so wish me luck!

My limited succulent knowledge: (I have a few Jade) maybe if you snip the tallest bits into the shape you like…think bonsai, new growth should happen. Sloooly but good luck with your new sick friend!

#### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-07-03

Keep as much green as you can tho.

Also, is that a small…different plant growing to the left side there!?🪴🤩
