Great article in Some Commonly Confused Succulents, and How To Properly Identify Them

I write this as a guide to identifying succulents that are often confused with each other. This is intended to be a reference when commenting on misidentified succulents in the plant photos database. Misidentification among succulents is prevalent due to the sheer number of similar looking species and hybrids. It is common even among well-known nurseries, which may sell misidentified plants.

Evan! Great article!

I have some of those in my clearance succulent combo pots that I gave up trying to identify. Depending on sun exposure, the colors are different. Maybe a follow up article would be the color change of the same succulents. Some stores sell them in different names depending on the color change or size of the rosettes.

You are

Looking forward to it! I keep buying the same succulents because they are being sold differently. Only to bring it home and they start looking the same.
