Identifying a Smelly Succulent: Sedum or Echeveria

Plant ID

The plant is a Sedum or Echeveria (succulent). Both have identical care needs.

Care Requirements

  • Light: Bright direct sun on sunniest windowsill.
  • Pot & Soil: Small pot with porous mix (add perlite). Must have drainage holes.
  • Water: Allow soil to dry halfway down pot. Drought-tolerant; hates constant moisture.

Odor Source

Smell likely comes from the soil. Use peat-based soilless mix, never garden soil. Keeping soil dry prevents root rot and odors.
