Some of my succulent collection

Posted by haxuan Vietnam (My Page) on

Here are four of my succulents that have been kept outside all last summer. Even though it rained a lot in our summers, the leaves of these plants did color up nicely, don't you think?

Thanks for looking.

Beautifull plants.....and pottery too!
Just wondering Xuan, what is the plant in the second picture? I have a small one that I took a cutting from my brother in Tucson and he didn't know what it was. Thanks!

Johnh..
The plant you are asking about reminds me of a Sedum called Jelly bean or Pork n Bean...

Hope someone comes along soon that knows for sure..:)

#2 is probably a Sedum rubrotinctum hybrid. There are many.

Cut back on water during the fall and winter to get a real color explosion in sedums.

What is #3? It looks something like Graptopetalum superbum, but the color is wrong.

Thank you, everyone, for looking at my photos and for the IDs.

I never know "when-to-do-what" really :-(. So I must cut back water from now. It's getting cooler now (65+) in my region. Still learning all the time.

Nancy: thanks for your kind compliments, my friend. It's all acredited to the mild climate here!

Xuan,

They're positively thriving.

Yes, cut back on water - but if it stays mostly sunny and 65 or so, the plants will still grow a bit, just not as much as they will when it's 85, you know.

Brad,

Isn't #3 Graptopetalum paraguayese?

"Graptopetalum superbum"

I used to pronounce superbum SO completely wrong.

Many thanks, Brad.

Most of the Graptopetalum I see now are hybrids, but I still like them. Maybe time to go shopping again :)

Nice looking plants you have there, Xuan! :)

I believe the 2nd one is Sedum rubrotinctum & the 3rd could be an xSedeveria. The leaves don't seem wide enough to be Graptopetalum paraguayense.

Great plants, very beautiful Xuan. I am new to succulents, what is the name of the plant in photo #4?

LOL!

Ashley, the plant in #4 is Crassula ovata aka Jade plant. Hope I'm correct on this one.

Xuan

You are correct! ;)
Looks like a Jade...and a nice bushy one at that!

Ashley,

The Crassulaceae (the Crassula Family) have Old World members, such as Kalanchoe, Crassula and Cotyledon and Tylecodon (there are others) and New World members, such as Graptopetalum, Echeveria, Pachyphytum and Dudleya (ditto).

Sylvia,

I still do - it's fun to watch folks' ears perk up.

Xuan,

You are completely correct.
