First is crassula cv. gollum some calls it cv. hobbit but I think hobbit is different... but as most the web pictures are wrong labeled because it seems any lord of the rings character name do well... it's hard to tell Second one you may find it as crassula portulacea or crassula ovata. I would say portulaceae Third (veeeeery beautiful) and fifth might be some sort of sedum or sedeveria (hybrids between sedum and echeveria) it would be really hard to get a correct id... Fourth is an haworthia, even harder to tell an exact species... take a look at www.haworthia.com Paul.

Oh my God, I knew everyone is nice on this forum, but I didn't really expect so much help! I am extremely grateful! I got all these rooted cuttings from a guy on Ebay, after my manager got a similar pack so she could decorate the new office. When I saw them in the office, I saw the plants that I know now being euphorbia, and I am 100% sure my manager potted them with no precaution as she probably thought they were harmless cacti... (she also put them all in the shade and she says that algae growing in the pot is normal, lol) I am very pleased with the selection, but I wish he didn't include/put some warning about the hazardous ones, as they were just wrapped in tissue and could have bled during the shipping, as the box received some abuse. I actually saw some dark spots on one tissue, but at the moment I didn't connect the dots! It was dry though. Maybe I'll write to him to warn him... I have a bit of an anxious personality, and since I found out, I started feeling itchy and didn't touch my face! I think I washed my hands 10 times now, even wiped them with antibacterial surface wipes before cooking dinner... I hope I won't get my boyfriend poisoning :S Or maybe I am exaggerating as I didn't have any symptoms since I touched them 10 hours ago... :( I know they are going on the bin tomorrow!

Thank you! Cylindropuntia leptocallis seems more like my memory of it. I have a better picture of it somewhere. And sedum nuttallianum popped up in searches for Enchanted Rock. :)

Sadly, just because a bagged soil is called 'cactus soil' that doesn't necessarily mean it's any good for cacti and succulents as we've said many times before, it's just sales blurb. They will die in that mix whatever their size, large or small, the result will be the same. Can't tell what the planter/s look like size wise in relation to the plants or whether it's one big planter, but whichever, there's way too much unused 'peaty' type compost. It will cause one of two things to happen...if you water thoroughly which they will need (but they also need to drain properly) it will stay wet and they'll rot. Failing that, the soil may become hydrophobic, you will think you are watering it but it will stay dry at the roots, as spray bottles don't water efficiently. Please do a search for a more suitable mix using the search box a the top, your plants will thank you in the end. Gill
