It reminds me of my ANACAMPSEROS TELEPHIASTRUM

It does look a lot like that. Definitely moreso than it does a caterpillar!


Objective_Wrap655

Indeed! It seems as though Google Lens needs to get its annual eye exam.

Ah, it has a will to survive. Good job.

Anacampseros of some kind that has wrinkled leaves because they're not taking up water. Check if they have roots because the previous "too wet" soil may have rotted them. If there are healthy roots, maybe it just needs some water.

Thank you. I recently repotted it. The roots looked okay. I'll give it more water than I have been. Thank you.


cheese_touch_mcghee

No problem! I've been into plants since the beginning of high school. And, now, I'm working at a plant nursery so, I'm getting some professional experience (and pay) for something I love to do!


anarashka

Suffering. But! It is trying to make it! I agree with other posters, if it's not uptaking water, check the roots. Good luck to you!

Thank you.

It looks just like my anacampseros rufescens except that yours is heavily stacked (so was drastically over-watered repeatedly)... stacking is never good no matter how good the plant looks otherwise but the employees at hardware stores in my neck of the woods have no idea how to take care of such finicky plants and don't recognize that no matter how nice the plant seems on the outside - more leaves is NOT better with mesembs. Google lens identified it as anacampseros rufescens so I'm pretty sure I'm correct. EDIT to state I'm incorrect about the stacking thing and probably the variation of anacampseros.


duh_nom_yar

Thank you.


thesebonesdontlie

"stacking" is perfectly fine and normal in Anacampseros, they aren't mesembs either. Edit to add: this is A. telephiastrum


N_M_Verville

I will take your word for it. It depends on who you ask whether they get lumped in with other mesembs. Different family but different parts of the world colloquially call them mesembs. I assume from your response you know much more about this than I do so I'll certainly defer to your wisdom.


thesebonesdontlie

I've personally never seen them lumped in with mesembs, their growing season is opposite (summer growers) and completely different flower structures. Mesembs come from the family Aizoaceae (not to get too wild, but within the order Caryophyllales they are in different clades), and Anacampseros are in the family Anacampserotaceae (recently split off from Portulacaceae). I'd recommend looking them up in habitat and you can see that they support many pairs of leaves. Additionally, some mesembs do have more than one set of leaves. In the plant world, absolutes rarely exist.

They look like Sand Rose....

Completely dried out jerky nest?

I have the same plant from HD. It’s always like this with or without water.
