Odd....I can only see one pic (the third one) with two plants and a bag of compost in the background, left hand cacti has two pink flowers.

Sorry for confusion, I first posted a couple pictures but then thought it was too confusing so I deleted all but one.

i just bought these from Lowes yesterday so I'll try my best to get them more light.

These are the other pictures I deleted, sorry again for confusion. I'll definitely get some perlite to add to the soil too.

For the next time - it would help if you number plants in the photos - and that way many could be posted, but will be much easier to follow numbers for IDs...:)

Kara gave you good suggestions - are there any names on labels? Look like plants from Altmans, and they usually give names.

Here in Minnesota at Lowe's or Home Depot Altmans does not name their succulents. Many nurseries sell succulents without names as well. It is very frustrating because care, propagating, size, cold hardiness and sun tolerance varies. Finding Id's is a challenge.

Carol, when I was IDing your plants I must have done it before you deleted the pics because I was able to see 3 pics in your original post:).

Actually Kara I was just adding a comment..no pics in this post.

Kara 9b SF Bay Area CA, Kara I've added back all the pics of succulents/cacti you helped me identify. Thanks so much for your help :) you saved me many hours of internet research.

Rina_Ontario,Canada, I did originally label and number every picture then I thought it was too much for one post so I deleted 2 of the 3 pics within minutes but Kara had already seen all 3 pics. I'm truly sorry for the confusion I caused. In the future I will not 1) ask for identification for more than 1 plant per post and 2) I will not delete pics out of my post. ;) Thanks to you all for your help/guidance.

Oh and to answer your question regarding names of plants on the labels, I'm a complete moron. They do have the names in tiny print on the labels. When I first looked I just saw "4 oz. Succulent" and didn't think the names were there.

I sure hope all this fumbling I've done on this one post doesn't reflect badly on me and future in this forum. Sigh! :(

If you're interested, here's what the labels say, Kara was "right on the money" with them all.

Picture #1:

plant #1: mammillaria elongata "copper king"

plant #2: notocactus magnificus "balloon cactus"

Picture #2:

Plant #1: sedeveria "jet beads"

plant #2: graptosedum "ghosty"

plant #3: graptosedum "alpenglow Vera Higgins"

plant #1: echeveria "Allegra"

plant#2: portulacaria afra "variegata"

It is actually better to make 1 thread with plants to ID - too many individual threads on same subject (ID) just clutter up the forum. Just number the plants if few in the same photo, or if 1plant/photo - number photos, and it will be just fine :) Do not worry about this post, at least you can see how fast, sometimes, you get the answer :):):)

Most plants I bought that came from Altmans did have labels. It is the grower that supplies the labels, not the seller (HD, Lowes, or any garden center). So if there is no label, it is grower not the store - unless they had only stick-in plastic tags that get lost, and/or misplaced by ppl pulling them out to check and not putting them back where they came from. And there are some mistakes too, sometimes grower will put wrong label on whole bunch of plants....Some growers use only common names and that could create problems since some common names are used for few different plants. Best for everyone to learn botanical/scientific name.
