Hi,

I made my first succulent garden this weekend. Here it is:

The only one I know the name of is the little baby one in front: Sempervivum arachnoideum. Can anyone tell me what the top right, top left, bottom right and bottom left ones are? I bought them at Rona and there wasn't any names on them.

Thanks!

Sorry!
I can't help you with identification, but I do have a question!
Do you have (cactus/succulent) soil under the rocks? Do the rocks serve as a mulch of sorts? Is it just for aesthetics?

Thanks!

BTW, It looks great! I am starting succulents from seed soon and I'm excited to have a succulent garden!

to a certain extent, they do.
they help prevent moisture loss.

Ark!

i'm pretty sure the back left fella is haworthia fasciata or zebra haworthia. i have a few of these (and their children).

Agreed - that's what it looks like to me!

The bottom left looks like a jade species.

bottom right looks like Echeveria 'Perle von Nuremberg'.
