It certainly is fuzzy
by: Jacki

What a great texture - this fuzzy succulent plant looks similar to Echeveria 'Green Velvet' except somewhat stretched out.

Is it in bright light, or just regular room brightness?

Don't eat it!
by: Jacki

Do you know what the botanical name is? I'm not familiar with this common name - time to do some more research!

No do not eat it

Its family is called Crassulaceae the genus is Kalanchoe. The only reason why I don't think it's the chocolate soldier is because its missing the brown on the edges.

Hi Winnie,
It looks like we're all stumped, but you have a few clues to go on, and please let us know if you figure out what your fuzzy guy is.

Think I found it
by: Mary Ellen

Winnie, I think it's Kalanchoe tomentosa. Tomentosa means fuzzy, appropriately enough. The "Chocolate Soldier" variety does have delicate brown edges or dots on the leaf edges. I found a good article on Kalanchoes here - take a look! I was googling for info on how to propagate the little leafy branch ends that fell off an old one I've had for several years.

There are a number of stemmed echeveria similar to these, and the growth pattern is correct.I think it is pubescens, but look also at pulvinata frosty, harmsii and set-oliver,
