Unknown Succulent cutting
by Zoe L
Length View about 3 inches long
He grows from a stem which is red/brown and smooth which produces large, round, smooth leaves and then has extra stems of which form the 'rosettes'. The rosettes have very small red pigments in the leaves on the youngest ones. The grow almost lop sided, with more larger leaves growing out of one side. The larger plant grew almost flat as though it was a ground covering plant. Small roots are growing out from the nodes. Drought Smart Plants reply: Hi Zoe, it's difficult to completely 100% identify some succulent plants until they start growing in some characteristic way, so I'm very tentative about the identity of this great little plant. It looks rather like some of the Aeonium tribe, and based on your description could possibly be Aeonium tabulaeforme or something similar. Without seeing the plant you took the cutting from, and seeing its growth habit, I really can't be certain. Alternatively, it also reminds me a bit of some of the Peperomia, with the thick fleshy leaves. These options will give you a place to start, and if you check on Dave's Garden plant files, you may find out more: Aeonium tabulaeforme Peperomia obtusifolia
