Even with experience, there are just going to be times when you won’t know what you’ve got (just google Echeveria Pludonis, Starlite or Sagita) Although I am getting better at succulent identification, there are some succulents and plants, for that matter, that are really hard to distinguish. I really want to know what I am buying otherwise I end up getting something I already have, which has happened. The labels at my local nursery typically read “succulent” with very little information about species. One thing I couldn’t figure out, among other things, is how to tell the difference between an echeveria and a sempervivum. After this past summer I realized that I had a deep interest in succulents, I immediately wanted to learn everything I could about propagation, care and identification.When I see a species that is new to me, I want to research it and read all about it.
