You have many plants to ID; can you number every plant so it is easy to refer to? Either edit original photos, or re-post with number on every plant you need ID for. Thank you.

For the plant that had the rotted roots(Aloe?) I would let them sit for 24 hours and then pot them in gritty mix and DONT water them for a week, and then only when the soil is dry. They look salvageable

So sorry, here are photos with numbers.

The pots look really nice.

I'll look for pix you post of each of these individually.In the meanwhile (subject to change after closer view):

1. Haworthia attenuata

2. Mammillaria

3. Notocactus magnificus (perhaps)

4. Portulacaria afra f. variegata

5. Echeveria (perhaps)

7. Portulacaria afra

8. Echeveria 'Black Prince'

11. Aloe juvenna

12. maybe a Sedum

Also, #6 looks like Pachyveria glauca

Now realize my #5 response should've been #6 but can't edit without making a mess of number list. LOL Cari's suggestions all look good. Waiting for closer, detailed pix.

Here are the photos as promised:

3. In the first photo, it was combined in one pot because I bought it that way. But I think they are two different species.

Thanks marguerite_gw, I got them cheap as well, but i had to burn holes at the bottom. They weren't really made for plants.

#10 is Haworthia cymbiformis var. obtusa.

*SQUEE* I love those Haworthia cymbiformis var. obtusa

I've never seen them available around here though. They are so chubby and cute!

Your containers are cute and good that you made sure about drainage holes - how many holes? - you could poke few just to make sure. Are they some kind of plastic?

I would point out that with your humid climate you need to make sure about good air flow besides the drainage. I think your plants are planted little deep - especially ones in oblong containers. If you could make sure they are sitting higher, the air circulation would be better. The container should be filled to just touch below the rim. There isn't that much space in your individual pots to raise the level of mix since the handles have openings, perhaps just a little mounding in the middle would help. And what did you use for topping - is that rice husks? It looks pretty good, but I don't know anything about their water retention - but have seen them mentioned few times.If you think they hold water for too long, maybe a pebbles/stones could be used for top dressing, they could be bigger than what you use in the mix itself.

The little 'stones' you mentioned that you buy along the road - are they the white particles visible in few photos? (the white granules - they look almost like perlite) - if yes, I think that's good sized grit.

Hi Rina, thank you so much for the very informative reply. I poked about 8 holes in each tiny plastic pot. I put a layer of pebbles at the bottom of all the containers too. And yes, the yellow things are the rice husks. The white specks are the stones. They are actually sold in bigger sizes. Do you think i should switch to bigger stones? The stones are also from the sea. I know that salt can be bad for the plants but I made sure to rinse many times before using it. So far it seems to be ok.

Will definitely consider your advice about air circulation. I was worried about humidity affecting my plants negatively. But that big rectangle pot is a temporary home for the plants. I'm having shallow containers made that will displayed outside every room (I live in a resort).

Will post photos as soon as they're done.

For now, I go on vacation and I sincerely hope that my staff won't kill them. But thank you again to you and everyone here who helped :)

It only occured to me now to research rice husks' water retentiveness. I found this

Rice hulls allow drainage, and retain less water than growstones.[4] It Rice hulls allow drainage,[3] and retain less water than growstones. It has been shown that rice hulls do not affect plant growth regulation. Has been shown that rice hulls do not affect plant growth regulation.
