I've bought this succulent and the Planta app says it is a mixed variety echeveria but I was hoping for an exact type. Any help is welcome.

It can be really difficult to discern the cultivar of an echeveria when it’s young because it hasn’t developed enough. It does look a little like a tippy, but I would suggest just giving it as much light as possible over the next year or so. By then, it should have developed enough to get a better idea of what it is. All echeverias have basically the same care instructions.

I think it’s an echeveria pulidonis. I have one. Slow grower and stays small. They grow offsets forming a mound. Mine is probably a couple years old. Started as one small rosette. It needs a lot of light.
