Hey plant people! mr subjunctive, I think you nailed the first plant. It does have the same markings of warneckii. In anycase, I also vote dracaena. I'm absolutely curious about #3. I'll post the begonia in the begonia forum. Is there anyone who can id #3? I've been researching peperomia and haven't found anything similar, but thanks for the input seaecho1. I'll keep looking into peperomia sites.

hi workingant! thanks for sharing all those pics. your plants look great. very healthy and happy. that first plant is: Portulacaria afra (common name Elephant Bush, though it has many other names) it's a great plant to add to your collection. fairly hardy and grows fast. more info: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.azarboretum.org/plantlist/Portulacaria_afra.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.azarboretum.org/plantlist/dwarfjade.htm&usg=__2hqBLC_y-jCYrFOQdSjaUrxDWSk=&h=300&w=300&sz=26&hl=en&start=7&um=1&tbnid=Tbg0SEIzTGF2oM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Delephant%2Bbush%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 and regarding your Haworthia attenuata, i would wait for the roots to dry and place the plant in pure pumice or perlite. wait for about 3 weeks and start watering it every other week. keep it in the shade but not somewhere wet. hopefully it'll root. but other more experienced people on here will give you better advice. good luck!

Your great insight has saved a lot of expectations! The leaves I have laid out above and the one from where you circled have come loose without any cutting. So I should use an Exacto to keep as much meristem attached? I thought I'd noted other sites, etc. Indicating most of the leaf can creat offshoots

I typically use a 50/50 mix of pumice (I find perlite tends to float when watered and therefore, makes your mix uneven) and a mixture of potting soil and worm castings/compost. Tuck the cuttings in. Don't water for 2-3 days to let any bruising heal over. Then water generously until water runs out the drainage hole. It may need more frequent water at the beginning now that they are new cuttings. Don't put in direct sun yet while it's developing roots. When established, you can water as all succulents like to be watered and gradually place it out in a sunnier location.
