windrider can you try to 'fix' the numbering in your first post? Go back to it, click edit and see if it works - change the numbers on pics after the 3rd...it will be easier to make sure you have correct ID's... 3 - maybe sedeveria? 14 & 15 - could that be the same plant? 17 - jade Lots of nice plants!

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Can someone please help me identify what Family, Genus, and Species of cacti/succulents I have growing? I have uploaded pictures of each of my plants. If my plants have a nickname could you please give me that info also? Thanks.

Garrett22, I noticed how stressed the plants looked. The lady who sold them to me has a home nursery and has over 500 plants in her backyard. Most of her succulents looked very stressed, but from my research I am going to do my best to salvage them. I am going to cut the tops and replant/reroot these. There are brown dried patches on the leaves as well and the stems are pretty dry and woody. I hope i can save them!! If anyone has anymore feedback or tips I would love them!

Sempervivums are very difficult to ID, there are more than 50 species and thousands cultivars, with many looking very similar. Exact name of the cultivar really doesn't matter that much as far as their needs: they are really same. When plant is not healthy, or grown under not-so-good conditions, they may, and often do, different than they should and that's another problem to ID it correctly. Kirby I don't see you mentioning your general location or growing zone? Sempervivums are very hardy plants, most of them will overwinter outdoors, under the snow, in z4 and many even lower. So unless you are in colder location, they could and should be grown outdoors. Proper pots are much more important than one may think. I would encourage you to repot plants that are in containers that do not have drainage holes. You don't even need to buy pots - plastic containers from cottage cheese or yogurt will work as long as you poke holes in it - a thin nail or straight pin works very well. Many small holes around bottom are great. Use opaque containers, as see-through will encourage growth of algae (more of a aesthetic problem, it will not kill your plants). I hope you do not think that we are preaching to you - all members here are quite enthusiastic about succulents; everyone that posted wanted to offer some helpful tips. We do get carried away - as soon as any of us see a problem, we comment even if you didn't ask about it (potting mix and drainage holes in this case...). It is all meant well and to help - otherwise none of us would waste time on reading and replaying :)
