Hello. I'm a new succulent caretaker and would appreciate any and all info/growing tips/ identification for my new friends. Most of these I have been gifted to revive or because they simply weren't doing well. I have been fairly successful so far but could use some help. Thanks so much in advance!

Total guess: some kind of Gastera/Gastraloe?

That's about as far as I got.

Were there supposed to be more pictures? I'm reading "succulents" plural but seeing only one. Smiling Now that I look, I see another thread, so that must be what you're talking about.

Your plant (also the Echeverias) will benefit from strong light indoors. That looks like a good spot right next to a sunny window. Keep an eye out during late fall and early winter when the days are shorter and the sun is lower in the sky to see if the sun is still hitting the plant. You may note changes in color and shape doing this time if it's not getting enough light.

Water well then wait for the soil to dry out at depth before watering again. The watering interval will probably become longer in winter with the changes in light and temperature.

Thanks to both of ya! I was going to post all the photos in one post but I read a disclaimer that said I should start a new thread for each plant. I was on the fence about it being a gasteria because I couldn't find a close enough match through image searching and descriptions online. I have a few more that I'm not sure of so I'll get those up soon! Thanks again y'all for looking Smiling

You did it right. Thank you for keeping them separate. Looking forward to puzzling over more plant pictures. Smiling

It may not be such a puzzle for some ;). But I'm a total newbie and am just trying to do all the reading and soak up as much information as I can. I've been bitten by the succulent bug and love taking care of these little cuties! Sorry, my enthusiasm may be a tad annoying Smiling
