# I recently got these two succulents but the pots didn’t say what kind…

I recently got these two succulents but the pots didn’t say what kind they are. Any thoughts? I’m watering them every week or so but the lighter one looks a little overwatered.

I think you’re most likely watering too much. I water once a week in mid summer when it’s like 90 degrees but rn I’m watering maybe every 2.5-3 weeks. I also live in a fairly humid area though.

The first one I have no clue. Sunrise succulent for the second plant.

First one looks to be a type of aeonium and the second is an anacampseros. Neither seems to not have received enough light, which is marked by lack of color. Once you've placed them in a high light area for a week or so, you should start to notice them blushing. At that point, you can probably pick out the specific variety.
