This had to happen sooner or later....

I need help identifying this succulent. I've spent quite a bit of time on google images trying out various search parameters--no banana.

It looks like a sedum, but the stems and trunk are thicker and look like jade. The leaves are also this exact color--dark green, very rough and mottled. They are also firmly attached and do not fall out as easily as, say, burro's tail.

If someone could narrow it down from "succulent plant" to something more indicative of how to care for it? Right now it is in my plant box under lights. I had to repot after purchase because Catzilla got to it first and that's how we know the leaves are more durable than S. morganianum.

Thanks for taking the time.

Harry, that is exactly the plant I have. I will look forward to it blooming. It also turns out S. hernandezii is very closely related to S. furfuraceum, Izz.

I swore to my spider I would only acquire plants I can readily identify to avoid death by ignorance but it was hard to resist this one.

Thanks everyone!
