Thank you, Rina, I will check those out more tonight!

They are in a good soil now and the pot has drainage, I've been too worried to give them too much sun until I can read more about them.

Rina, from what I can tell, it loos like all of the "palm leaves" need to be pointed up? I have a long way to go....

'The palm' :) leaves want definitely more light, that is difficult indoors. They eventually grow longer stalks, but if you google the photos, you'll see how much closer the leaves should be. Your plant doesn't have 'bad' trunks, they are quite short and thick. And it also needs appropriate amount of water - how often, it depends on the mix it is in and temps.

You are right about not putting them into strong light right away, but more and more every 2-3 days will not hurt and they will be acclimatized.

I keep my plants under lights all winter long - helps, still not as good as natural light.

When you say they are in good soil now, have they been moved out of the container and the mix you showed us or is that the good soil you mention please? Just trying to help you and your plants :)

Gill, the soil in those pictures is a Miracle Grow cactus/citrus mix. I didn't mix the soil with anything else and I'm worried to do so now because I don't want to shock them too much... I have a lot to learn about this stuff!

Also, I saw a Miracle Grow succulent food at the hardware store, should I give it to give my succulents?

Rina, if I end up getting a light, do you have any recommendations? I live in Indiana, it was 80 degrees and sunny last week and this week its 45 and rainy; I'm not comfortable with moving too much outside yet. I have a string of bananas that I put outside when I can and he is growing like a weed, I love it!

And Rina, just how tall is that plant in your picture?

Pictured plant is about same height as yours - sorry I don't have photo showing it sideways. Here it is about year (?) earlier:

You won't need light if you keep them outdoors until late fall, when they have to come back indoors again. You could use CFL bulbs (I believe they are slowly fazing them out?), LED bulbs or fluorescent tubes - if those, either T8 or T5 would work. T5HO would be likely best, but they are more $ - so depends on how much you can/want to invest. And if you get more plants, more lights will be needed.
MG cactus and succulent soil may be too peaty - can you get a bag of perlite and mix it about 50/50? Well draining soils are mix of particulates that are larger, peat is too fine. Many of use products like grit, turface, perlite, pumice, scoria - few of these together make good mix.

Thank you for such thorough information!

I will start mixing my soil for now on. Hopefully what they are in now will be fine for a while! Do your rocks on the soil serve a purpose or is it for decoration? Does it make watering better?

Is the one on your picture Echeveria pulvinata x setosa? I'm still not completely sure what mine is, but it looks almost exactly like your picture.

Grit on top is just a top dressing - I started putting it on to stop squirrels from digging in my pots - no such luck, but it slowed them down, and also to keep lowest leaves from touching the mix. And I like the look of it - would even more if they were nicer:) The large rock is usually put there when potting up and plant is not yet established. I don't like stakes or sticks for succulents, so use larger rocks. And often I just leave them there.

It is not necessary, many ppl do it. Some believe that it keeps moisture in - I don't, since my mix is very gritty. It is made of grit (smaller than what is on top) + turface + perlite.

My plant was ID-ed as 'could be one of the three'... lol. That's why I posted all 3 possibilities...I think it is E. pulvinata xsetosa; flowers may help but mine didn't bloom yet.
