Any succulent lovers out there that might know what this is?  
I rescued this scraggly guy from my local plant shop. I know it looks sad but I want to try n identify it. Google told me it was a graptopetalum ghost plant and when I tried another site, it said it was a sedeveria lilac mist. They both look kinda similar but also not really based on the images I see online

I couldn’t see what one it was either but it likes sun and might of gone “leggy” cus it’s stretching for more

#### Alli replied on 2026-08-08

lol yea it’s stretching far. I figured it’ll probably take some more time once it becomes happy again to identify what it is

Try posting it to the succulent group and see if anyone there knows 😂

I’m fairly certain the stretched rosette is a ghost plant. The stores sell a lot of them. They easily prop. But they need a lot of light.

thank you!!

#### Alli replied on 2026-08-09

Ty ^^ Hope I can get it back to how it should look

Hmm it’s hard to tell but I think it’s a lilac mist

### Maria commented on 2026-09-11

Yes, ghost plant. I have one.

Update: It’s purple now and the leaves are getting more plump! Also I ended up getting a lilac mist (the one at the top)
