Ask the Expert: How do I identify a plant?
I bought a plant today but I have no idea what that plant is called or how I should take care of it. I’m attaching a picture with hopes of someone knowing what I brought home.  Aga

What you have is a succulent from the genus Crassula.  I’m not sure which species. It could be a Crassula clavata, Crassula cultrata, Crassula herrei or some other kind of Crassula.  In the scheme of things it really doesn’t matter.  You will basically take care of them the same way.   Give it plenty of light. Keep the soil moist in the summer (or during times of high heat) and a little less water during the winter.  Needs good drainage.  Will not like soggy soil.

If you want to pinpoint which one it is take a look at this website http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Crassulaceae/Crassula.html  it has picture of different types of Crassula.

Hopefully this information will be what you need.
