# Hello All, New to the Plant world but picked up this cool Succulent…

_Posted by SerNic on 2025-06-02_

Hello All,

New to the Plant world but picked up this cool  
Succulent from the local Thrift/plant store last week.  
Any clues on what it could be?

My initial thought was "Jade Plant 'Crosby's Compact" or a "Crassula Ovata Plant". I was also told maybe a Haworthii Aeonium.

Any recommendations would help greatly!!

Don’t think it’s an Aeonium haworthii. The growth pattern looks to be closer to Aeonium arborium, but I’m sure there are more experienced growers here who’d know for sure. Definitely an aeonium of some sort. Just give it as much sunlight as you can and water when the soil is basically bone dry!

I agree, it looks like a Aeonium arboretum (Irish Rose) to me as well. I’m new to this as well, but I dig deep to figure mine out! Most times I can figure them out, but not always!
