Bev, do you think plant number one is a Jade plant?

I thought Crassula right off the bat but never seen that kind of smooth almost perfect shaped leaves...

Ah, gotcha. I'm betting it is a Jade and will be sending a plant with smooth leaves sto you, Bev, lol...

.... now the next one, I wasn't able to locate. Any help?

BTW, Jookie - you are being given excellent advice. The jade, at least, is most often a house plant, although I've seen it growing outside in California and Ecuador. Indirect light, water when dry, etc. But it will take more water than the others.

Sheryl,
Thank you and to everyone who is helping me to identify these for me. I am making sure to bookmark these so I will be able to remember them Smiling I have planted #1 in a pot by itself last night and it does look like the Crassula (Jade Plant). Thank you!!

Yes, any guesses for the rest of them? Confused

I'm almost certain the second is a painted echeveria

Jookie, the fourth plant looks like an Aeonium but don't know which. It will keep getting taller with the lone head which is Ok because you always need a taller plant somewhere. And the #2 ID'ed as painted echeveria (by Serse) looks to me to a bit etiolated like it hasn't been getting enough lite (OH NO, not that problem again...).

Lol. Yeah thats all i need. I have it in the window sill so im sure it will start doing better now that ive saved it from lowes. Do you happen to know if any of these will produce offsets or babies? I think thats what interests me most since my hen and chicks. Do alot of semps produce offsets?

With some of your plants, you can already see the new growth/babies/offsets.
Echeverias have offsets too but not nearly as semps do. And even in semps, each variety is different in the amount of offsets produced.
Aeonium will grow straight up with long stem but can branch and have multiple heads if you cut the head off. I lopped off Aeonium head on a very tall stem and 10 heads branched out. Seven survived. I then planted the lopped-off head and it developed roots to become another plant. Here's pic of new branched heads:

How exciting Jookie! You're in good hands with Sheryl, Bev and Serse!! I will just remind you (from my personal experience) the most common killer of succulents is watering when its cold!!! I'm so used to tropical houseplants or ferns that if I see a plant looking sad/droopy, I'm like "ohoh needs water" and last year lost, or nearly lost several plants...this year they're all doing so much better, I water every week or less and only a little sip, and they're totally good with that! Hurray! Can't wait to see photos later in the year!!
Cheers I tip my hat to you.

Thank you Bev!!! Yeah I will see how they do here. I have them in a window box preparing for our outdoors weather and will only water them with a spray bottle as I was advised earlier. I have over watered a lot of plants as I just did to my azalea plant and mama hen Crying but I am on a mission to keep her babies alive and have them develop into mama hens Hurray! I actually just purchased more from home depot last night and they actually come with names on the pots!!! I took a picture of all of them and will add those to my plant list. I'm not sure if they can all be planted together but they all said they needed lots of sun and were drought tolerant so I thought it would be ok. I've planted them in a window box my hubby made and will take them outside and replant if need be in different containers once it stays warm out. I probably shouldn't have planted them all together but hopefully you all aren't saying to yourself "What was she thinking!" lol Shrug! Here is a pic...Im hoping they will produce offsets for me as well but haven't really had a chance to research those yet.

The names of my new one's in there are...

Silver Coral (Senecio Scaposus)
Echeveria ' Neon Breakers'
Jad Plant 'Gollum'
Little Jewl (Pachyveria Glauca)
Alpenglow/Vera Higgins (Graptosedum)
Kalanchoe Millotii
Plush Plant (Echeveria Harmsii)

Hopefully they are ok being in there together? Confused Hopefully they will do good there since I have it in a window and will get sun at least half of the day until I can get these beauties outdoors.

Jookie, they look absolutely beautiful in the window inside their really nice window box (pat on back for DH!). I would just keep a close on any one of them for maladjustment to new environment (too much light, not enough watering, etc) I think you are getting it that succulents are sort of divided into hardy (ie semps) and tender (jade, pachyveria, kalachoe, eche ). And that this division calls for tweaking of requirements. Time and experience will help you with all that. Thanks for sharing your plant experiences with us.
Good luck and don't forget to indulge in our Semp Week with us. Look at our tips and articles for much, much information about planting, pests, history, container choices, and other important info and ideas!!! Thumbs up
