# Hi loves! Just got this first succulent and am having a hard time…

Hi loves!

Just got this first succulent and am having a hard time identifying it. It says it’s a moonstone but I have another one just like it that looks more like the picture of a moonstone (second picture) and they are definitely different plants

I have one and it was labeled an ghost echeveria

Yes, it’s a ghost Echeveria. I got mine as a cutting, put her in some soil, and she’s been growing like crazy over the past three months. Lots of sun, and only water it about every two weeks depending on the climate—but a lot of water in one go is better than frequent dribs and drabs.
