Does anyone know what this succulent is? My sister in law gave me these little pieces the size of a pea from her plant and i put them on potting soil around thanksgiving and forgot about them until spring and they got so big. They are so cool. I wish I knew what they are.

Kalanchoe delagoensis/Kalanchoe tubiflora aka mother of milions or chandelier plant...once you have it, you may have it forever...it self-sows by the little plantlets growing on leaf margins...considered invasive weed (could be noxious weed) in certain parts of the world. It has pretty blooms & often passed on or sold in garden centers...

This one has not been invasive in my location like K. houghtonii is. The plantlets only form at the leaf tips and are apparently less hardy. It's the stem that I love so much on this species.

You can do both pluck the lower leaves and set on soil - mist them every other day (look at your other post for more information), and also put the denuded stem into soil and it will also grow.

1. Crassula ovata Tricolor (it gets those red/maroon margins from good sun). Underside of leaves could get solid maroon. I have seen it listed under name Lemon and Lime - I have that one too and would say that coloring is bit different - at least on my pants. Maybe I am just mixed-up? Hummel's Sunset has. IMO, different coloring too, with some yellow and red, and not as much green-white striping. 4.Looks like Crassula tetragona to me? Can't help with cacti - do not really collect them :)

You're welcome. OK I was off a bit. I hope your pot has a drainage hole, if not, it's a problem. Just so you know, to learn the best care of the plants, try to avoid the made up, silly names, for best results. peperomia ferreyrae = happy bean (apparently), this seems to be all over now, unfortunately. https://plantcaretoday.com/peperomia-ferreyrae.html#:~:text=Since%20the%20leaves%20of%20the,Water%20only%20sparingly%20in%20winter.
