Hi everyone! I’m a new succulent mama. Im struggling with the identification of my succulent, it seems like it’s from the Echeveria Rosea family but I’m not sure.

One leaf has a hole in it and it’s worrying me because that wasn’t there originally. I keep Tunisia (the succulent) outside to retain sun and bring her in on the rainy nights, and I water her when the soil is bone dry. Is that hole my fault, and is there anything I can do to prevent it?

It kind of looks like something scraped it, it should be fine though. I have similar marks on some of my plants from when transporting them home, but is yours mushy or spreading?

Nope, it’s not mushy or spreading at all. I saw some gel like substance inside the little hole. I think that may just be the cytoplasm of the plant. The hole has stayed the same consistently for 3 days now.

It shouldn’t cause any issues then, just continue to keep eye on it!

Great thank you!! :)

It reminds me of an echeveria Lola, but so many echeveria look so similar, it is hard to tell. Planta said Lola when it scanned it and I see the resemblance. I don’t have one yet though so I can’t compare for sure. Might need more light to show it’s true colors. It will probably be easier to tell once it flowers, but I know that’s not helpful now.😊

Thank you for the try! It might be a Lola instead you’re right! I’ll upload photos when the flowers come in :)
