Can you please help me identify this plant?
I bought it at a store similar to Home Depot in a section with lots of different succulents and cacti. Unfortunately I forgot to ask anyone who worked there if they knew what the name of this plant was so now I don't how to take care of it or how often I need to water it!

I don't recognise it, but it looks like some kind of euphorbia. If it is then you should treat it like a cactus.
I discovered this plant is called euphorbia cedrorum. However, I cannot figure out how often I need to water it!
In Spring and Summer water it when dry, and no more than once a week. Do not water it at all in Autumn and Winter. Feed with low nitrogen fertiliser. Tomato fertiliser at 1/4 strength is ok.
It's amazing!
I wish I could identify my succulent...any ideas Alan?
The succulent might be a form of Crassula. There are dozens of types !
I agree that it looks like a Crassula of some sort.
Crassula.
Thanks both!
Really appreciate it.
Just found this - looks very similar to mine:
Crassula schimperi ssp. schimperi Gilbert 2000
Syn. Tillaea pentandra Royle 1846
Crassula schimperi grows as a sprawling mat of succulent green stems with lanceolate leaves. The stems become brown and woody with age.
