Identification and help please!

9 years ago

I paid $20 for all of these plants and from someone who was moving due to the Navy. I know nothing about them and I can tell some of them are not in the greatest shape. I'd really like to know what I need to do to get them back to tip top shape. I have to post the pictures separately, so bare with me please. :)
Thanks in advance - Sam Ã°ÂÂÂÃ°ÂÂÂµ

There is a chalky white substance on this one that can be wiped off with my finger

This one is growing out of a broken wooden branch that looks like the rest of them.

I believe the first one is Kalanchoe luciae. If it is, it is supposed to have that dusty substance on it...that's it's sunscreen, so don't wipe it off.
The next one looks to be a jade. Keep it in a spot with indirect sun to avoid further sunburn.
The third one is some kind of aeonium.
The fourth one is Portulacaria afra. I think I spelled that right. :)
The last one is a bunch of agaves.

Others will chime in with more info.

Thank you Nancy! I Googled all of them and they all seem right except I'm not so sure on the first one, but it could just be in terrible condition. I LOVE the Portulacaria Afra! I definitely was to learn to prune it and care for it so it can look like the pictures I saw in the Google search! Wow, gorgeous!

They are all in my garage for now. I'm going to go out tomorrow and talk to my friend down at my favorite nursery because two of them have what looks to be mealybugs and I want to get something to control that before I bring them around to my backyard near all my other plants. Do any of y'all have a favorite product? I am in the process of switching over to gritty mix. If a plant has soil mealiesbugs can I simply switch over to the gritty mix without treatment or do I need to treat the entire plant?

And if some of them don't make it, it's alright, I made out with some awesome pots (that I have to drill holes in) but I definitely would have paid way over $20 for in the store!
