Shopping addict needs id help please (pictures)

Ok. I am the worst when it comes to controlling my shopping. I see it, like it, buy it, figure the rest out later.

SOOOOO, I seen the following succulents the other day at Wallyworld in a little tub and just fell in love. Now I need some help identifying them and a few other things. I do really appreciate it. Thanks

After identifying I would like to find out which of these I can put all together so that I could have one big succulent container.

{{gwi:593967}}

{{gwi:593973}}

{{gwi:593978}}

{{gwi:593983}}

{{gwi:593989}}

{{gwi:593994}}

{{gwi:593999}}

Also this was a baby that I got from my mother's plant. She says it is a type of aloe vera. It sends out the BIGGEST bloom. I was wondering exactly what kind it is.

This was labeled as a Sansevieria, was wondering what type exactly.

Whew! That's a lot o' succs! First one is Adenium obesum (Desert Rose); #2 an Echeveria; #3 either Sempervivum or Echeveria; #4 Haworthia, maybe attenuata; #5 Crassula peforata?; #6 another Semp; #7 & 8 Echeverias; #9 definitely an Aloe, but definitely not vera; #10 the most common of the tall Sanseverias.

Thank you so much. At least this gives me something to go on to find out about planting them. i am really wanting to make one big container/bed and to top dress with something like lava rocks. And wanting to do a pond or water container nearby. Just something different and interesting. I have a new greenhouse and want to have all sorts of interesting areas in there to convince the hubby that YES, I really did NEED the greenhouse lol
Again, tyvm

Update: I moved to the Caribbean 11 months ago and brought my sorry, three legged Lepismium?? with me. It's grown a bit but is still a tiny thing. Maybe now we can better ID it??? It hangs happily on a porch, receiving 5 hours of morning sun, then indirect sunlight the rest of the day. I noticed most of the tips and edges have turned reddish since relocation. It also has little white 'beards' all along its stalks. However, it has never flowered. Perhaps it needs more sun? And, by the way, what's up with this Tanzanian Zipper? Those are Echinopsis pups in there with this Tanzanian Zipper. I received it as a cutting with 3 others that died within a week. This one looks the exact same size it looked two years ago! It's still alive but never grew one root and appears to be in a perpetual snooze. Any ideas how I can jolt this one to life? Or perhaps it's time to throw in the towel. If anyone has this succulent, please consider a trade with me...click on my username to get to my profile, where you'll see my trade list. I'd love to own one that actually does something. Peace! - Maria Elena

#3 is Crassula ovata 'Gollum' 'Skinny Fingers' is a variety of 'Gollum' and thier is one more variety called 'Coral' that came from Europe a giant form the the above mentioned' Gollum' You have several 'Jade' plants in the pictures. One is very white and may not live. You also have a plant that looks like "Jade" but I believe could be Senecio 'Jacobsonii' which is a trailing plant. Don't let it fool you. The one with the red flowers, it 'Red Apple' can't recall the "Latin name" oh, yes 'Apetina". I am so glad to see that you are interested in names, many people are not and tease me because I am. Jo Jo I am pretty sure that you are right about #5 Crassula platyphylla This one of the reasons we need to know the names, if you have a problem with one of these just tell me that name, and see If we can be of help. JoJo you are great with the names, your certainly not a beginner. Norma

Flower shops sometimes select hydrangeas that are not hardy for some locations. I guess they think people will throw them out when the blooms fade. Since it looks so nice in the above picture, I would consider winter protecting this year and see how it does bloom-wise next year. Prune it only after it has bloomed but before July-August. And fertilize it once in Spring so the soil is not full of nitrogen. Too much N keeps hydrangeas a nice dark green with few or no flowers. Hydrangeas are impossible to name without blooms so try posting pictures when you see/get blooms for the one above. The link below is for the Endless Summer Series. Please refer to it so you can match the blooms you see to the ones in the website. The soil makes the H. macrophyllas blooms turn blue/pink/purple (whites will stay white no matter what). The potting mix that turned the blooms blue originally contained the proper soil acidity and levels of aluminum to get a shade of blues. If the roots grow into your soil, the acidity/alkalinity of your garden soil & the level so aluminum in your soil will tweak the color. Blooms that turn pink suggest that your soil is alkaline and-or has little aluminum. To switch the blooms back, you will need to amend the soil regularly with a product such as aluminum sulfate (keep it away from azaleas and rhododendrons though). If your levels of aluminum are normal, you can also try amending with garden Sulphur, greensand and iron-chelated liquid compounds. Blues will then return as soon as you get new blooms and last several weeks after which the blooms will fade and begin to turn several other colors. Here is a link that might be useful: ES Website

We need to remember this....someone posted great images of this same insect just the other day. Springtails are probably THE most numerous insect in soil, and their presence does not necessarily mean that there is a problem. Truthfully, their primary role is that of an organic matter recycler! However, they can nibble on plant roots and if the population is VERY high they could cause some difficulties. If your soil has plenty of organic matter and/or if you mulch with organic material, you will most likely see plenty of springtails. Moist, organic-y conditions suit them best. Keeping the soil disturbed by cultivating gently could help. Applications of horticultural grade diatomaceous earth would be effective, too. If I were in your shoes, I'd have my long handled cultivator out routinely. If these insects were in my containerized plants (where they often take up residence because of the high organic content), I'd use DE.

I agree with denise from omaha. I think #8 may be Echeveria Perle Von Nunberg. The Sempervivums will be harder to ID.

I've found that Haworthia and Sansevieria tolerate and possibly benefit from some shade while the others do best in full sun. Echeveria in particular require LOTS of light to maintain their compact rosettes. Without it they grow tall and can flop over. Also, most people appreciate Adeniums in their own pot since they have such a grandiose appearance, but it's your eye that you have to please.

I thought it was awesome. It was only $15.00. Saw several more but just didnt have a clue what they were. I am an eye candy type of buyer. LOL. Saw something else that I might HAVE to go back and get. It looked like a mini palm tree. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it though. I dont want big, I was it to remain squatty (is that a word?) LOL. Guess I better start reading Bonsai. Great!
