    Popped in to aldi this evening, they have a few different cactus and succulents for sale £3.15 each, in terracotta pots.
    I picked up a nice little succulent, it's marked up as Portulacaria, not sure which one as i have a couple already and they look completely different ??, perhaps a hybrid ??

    Any idea's welcomed :)

        To be honest Michael, one of the sedum's was what first came to mind, the leaves are so different on this plant than my other portulacaria.
        Thanks Michael ill look up Sedum Sieboldii :thumbsup:

              Thanks very much @Lem, I went to Aldi today and nearly bought the exactly same Sedum just because of your thread even though I'm apparently not allowed to buy another succulent :scratch:

              Anyways, two four-packs of Cyclamen came home with us. :)
