Succulent cutting, need help with ID please!

Duncan, OK(Zone 7a)

Hi All, I went to lowes yesterday and in the plant section outdoors where they have the cacti & succulents I found this cutting. I took it home after Lowe's said I could, it looks like a Crassula but which one? I am posting 2 pictures of it. Thanks all for your help.

Hi Plantlady, Thank you for the links. I had already looked them up and there are like 4 of them that look like my plant. I was hoping someone on here could narrow it down to one for me lol. I have placed her in Cacti succulent potting mix, soon she will root for me.
I like her and will keep her just would love to know what her cultivar name is.

I do thank you for taking the time to search for me, I appreciate your effort and time.

Blessings,

Looks like crassula perforata (large variety). May be this one: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/96459/ ?

Thank you, I have looked at that one to but the leaves on Crassula Perforata seem lighter than mine. Mine is a darker green with the red around the edges... Could it have been his pictures were taken out doors and mine was taken indoors? I am going to surf the internet to find more info.
Thanks for the links.

Yours probably just needs more light (after it is rooted, of course). Pictures in PlantFiles are for outdoor plants, which get some direct sun.

Thank you bagel_k, you are right, that could be it. How long does it take for them to root? I dipped her in rooting hormone before planting her in a good draining cactus succulent potting mix.

I rooted mine in winter. It took several weeks, but yours might root faster since it is spring time. just wait till new growth appears, and don't water it too much untill then.
