Hello! I got this little succulent at a garage sale. What type is it and should I do anything for it?

Make sure it gets plenty of sun and water once a month!
좋아요 1개Looks like an echeveria ghost plant. Usually: transfer to a chunky soil mix and drown that hoe then don’t water again until she’s completely dry. Since she looks a bit overwatered, I would just let her dry out completely and acclimate to your home for 2 weeks before moving her. Also be sure to place her in somewhere with bright/direct light 😊

좋아요 1개Sound like a good start 😊 When you repot her next, you may consider removing the rocks as they can settle and clog the drainage holes over time and actually end up aiding in root rot rather than preventing it sometimes. Happy planting! 😊

좋아요 1개It’s a donkey’s tail/burrow’s tail. It’s gonna need extremely bright direct light, I have mine about 10” from a T8 grow bulb. I only water once the soil dries fully and the succulents start to get slightly less firm.

this isnt a burros tail or ghost plant. it is a sedum (a leggy one). attaching my ghost plant (left) and burros tail (right) for reference.

I agree, it looks like a ghost plant. Looks very similar to mine. Agree with lots of bright light and water only when soil is dry. Mine is in a 4inch terracotta on east facing window. I’ve lost a few bottom leaves, there is one that’s about to in the picture. So I’m not an expert…. Happy to learn here also
