I need help identifying a few plants

7 years ago

So I have a few cacti/succulents that I have lost or forgotten the names of. They probably aren't hard to identify or anything but making a post was easier then trying to find it without any info to go on. Thanks in advance!

I've had this one for years and it was a gift from a friend when hers had little sprouts so I've never known exactly how to care for it. I believe it's cork on the bottom but if not I'd love to know to treat it if possible.

I bought this one recently but it didn't have a tag to tell me how to care for it.

Finally, when I bought this one it said it was Aloe Vera but it doesn't quite look like the pictures I've seen so I was curious if it really is Aloe Vera or something similar.

I really appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks!

No idea about the other two, but the second one is, I believe, Haworthia attenuata var. Zebrina and it needs more light (notice the lighter color and stretched appearance).

I think the second one is some type of Hawthoria

The "backyard bush" is Nandina/Heavenly bamboo. Tree 3 kinda makes me think of white mulberry but not quite sure. Tree 2 is probably a very diseased Ligustrum. And Tree 1 could possibly be Confederate rose but again not quite sure.

Red clover would have the flower head nested at the base of the top leaf. The plant in your picture appears to have a ring of bracts at the base of the flower head, only found in American species of clover.

I love the Peperomia. They look so juicy like something you could eat:). I just bought another 'Silver Star' they're so pretty. I was about to repot it and found two little white babies. They will turn green, but they look neat all white:).

Could the cactus be a Melocactus?

I don't think so, it has a very different type of flower but unfortunately I don't have a picture of that. Thanks though!

Are your cacti getting enough light? Unusual shape (especially top). Etiolation ?

That's very possible, I live in Newfoundland where there isn't a lot of sun and it's in my bathroom with only a small window. I've moved it now to see if that makes a difference

The cactus might be an echinopsis. Does it have big, showy flowers? The brown part is probably corking after some old damage (sunburn? frost? mites?). As long as it is not spreading quickly it shouldn't be a problem.

The last one is definitely an Aloe, but probably not A. vera. I don't know which one, though.

These could all use more light. If you are moving them into full sun, be careful to do it gradually so they don't sunburn.

Thanks! I just googled it and I think you're right, it develops a very large pink flower on a long stem. I've had the first one for 7+ years and have never paid much attention to it but I've recently developed an interest in cacti and succulents so I'm hoping to learn how to take care of them properly, so I really appreciate any help and advice!

Sorry to say: they are all three etoliating. Need more light.
