Help me identify this plant, I don’t know WTH I bought! 😂 I’ve been seeing these and they’ve been on my “buy” list, but I wasn’t going to get anything tonight. But then I saw the pink spots on this and was like “Oooo!” Then I found an echeveria “Pearl Von Nuberg” and “Cubic Frost” leaf sprouting roots and was like “Well, I don’t have shirt pockets... maybe put them in my hood?” Then I found a Sedum rubrotinctum “Aurora” leaf and so... 🤭 #plant-id #id #help-id

Christmas Tree Cactus maybe? If you look it up on here, Everyone’s has far fewer leaves, and what ones theirs do have tend to be red. Mine’s got lots of large, not red leaves. ONE has a small red-ish spot that looks like cherry kool-aid spilled and dried on it. But there’s a lot of possible explanations for these differences.

@gjones @cyndi I originally didn’t think you were right, because images just weren’t matching. THEN I found images/articles about the monstrose (commonly called “Christmas tree”) and dwarf monstrose (commonly called “Gumby”) cultivars of Eve’s Needle, and they match up much more. Time will tell if it’s dwarf or not, and it may even start to look like regular Eve’s Needle. I don’t think any of these plants look right when we first buy them, they spend so much time in such low light conditions.
