#2 looks like Aloe juvenna to me.

#5 may be Calocephalus brownii (not quite sure...there is another similar-looking plant I can't think of name right now...)

Hi Rina

I think you are right about #5 being a Calocephalus brownii. I reeeeeally like it. It would look gorgeous next to my succulents. A bright pop of silver amongst all the green. Hmm going to have a look at it again next week ;)

#2 being an Aloe juvenna seems about right too. From the pictures I found on the mighty internet it looks amazing when grown in big clumps. I was just about to ask if I should separate the three or grow them together. Think I´l let them stay together but repot to a bigger pot and better soil.

Thanks!

I would just repot into slightly bigger pot now; almost no point to separate since they will just continue clumping (unless you want more pots of it!:) They will pup from roots. They will grow taller/longer stalks, but should get good bright light to stay compact. If the arms grow too long for your liking, they can be cut/shortened. Cut off pieces will root if desired, and plant will most likely branch from cut end. In lots of sun, they get quite dark - so you could keep it in just some before-noon-sunlight.

I think I would like a huge pot of clumping juvennas. This one also has great potential as future gift maker :) Lovely!

@seedmoney: weird, I only see your reply now. Thanks for the full name :) It's in the kitchen for now with the other newlings. And I really like how robust it seems and then the contrast with the delicate flowers.

Here is one - not in best shape, has been cut up a lot and also bit neglected (I have been away and plants were on their own!:)

I love how scruffy it looks Rina :) Can't wait for mine to grow up.

I am very much in love with these gorgeous scruffy fellas. They fit it just nicely next to my other aloes :) I just hope they wont get too etiolated during the dark months. But I guess I´d try out Rinas advice about cutting them and letting them branch out.

My humble collection of this and that · More Info

Don't expect too much branching; sometimes you get only 1 from a cut. But sometimes you get couple, like here:

I replaced kids with plants, haha...
