#1 looks like euphorbia trigona
African Milk Tree (Euphorbia trigona)

#3 may be Purple Passion Plant
Purple Velvet Plant (Gynura aurantiaca 'Purple Passion')

#4 looks like some form of Plectranthus, but I am unsure, because they are not my expertise.
Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides Trusty Rusty)

Agree with 3, 4 is definitely a Coleus. There are thousands of named cultivars.

Does #2 have fuzzy leaves? I get a "gesneriad" vibe from it, but that's hardly specific at all.

I hope someone can identify #2, because I am curious about those fuzzy frosted looking leaves.

I agree with all the above ID's and #2 does indeed look like it's in the Gesneriad family. It reminds me of Sinningia. When it blooms, you will be able to get a more exact ID but here are a few photos from our database for comparison to Sinningia foliage:

Yes #2 is a gesneriad, I believes it is red trumpet (thats how we called it here) Kohleria eriantha

Kohleria (Kohleria hirsuta var. hirsuta)

Yes, those leaves could very well be Kohleria! Once FearLessGreen gets flowers on that plant, it will show it's true self.
