Ginger, both your Aloe and Kalanchoe plants are considered tender succulents. Here is a thread to read more about them and share your photos. Please post the photo of your awesome
Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Ghost Plant' also. Everyone will love seeing what a gorgeous plant it is. The thread "Tender Succulents Chat and Photos" in Cactus and Succulents forum

Hi Mary, so glad you found us. We are all learning daily, so join in the fun. : )
Hen and chicks are Sempervivum, of which there are maybe 6000 cultivars. That is why we need to be careful about keeping each one in our collections accurately tagged, unless you just want to grow them for fun. They are winter hardy and actually need some kind of winter like conditions to thrive. http://garden.org/plants/brows...
If you don't have a winter (freezing temps), then you could grow the tender succulents of which there are many thousands to choose from. The thread "Tender Succulents Chat and Photos" in Cactus and Succulents forum
Your patio sounds like the perfect place to grow the tender succlents (not frost hardy). Would love to see photos of what you have so far. : ) Post them on the link in the Tender Succulent thread (link provided in this post). You can also share with us what you have already ordered. We love seeing what others are getting. Thumbs up
