Yes, they've definitely had too little light and are way too straggly.

I agree about the second, Kalanchoe pumila, this should grow into an attractive clump with pretty pale mauve flowers. The third one could be Pachyphytum oviferum and the last possibly a Graptopetalum. Sorry, I'm not sure about the other two.

The first doesn't look bad to me, but I don't grow these plants.
Etiolated is no problem. I am sure with some advice on rooting leaves and cultural advice Mistyhiss can soon grow some very nice plants from these.
And what's not to like anyway? They look healthy to me.

Thank you all!
They were bought in a batch from Ebay as reduced price plants in winter as they weren't good enough quality to sell full price. A couple arrived with mealy bug and most didn't look particularly happy. They went into quarantine in a separate room to the conservatory and were treated for infestation, hence why they probably became etiolated. The new growth is healthy though (and desirable as the existing leaves were damaged) and I have rooted cuttings. Perhaps these will be easier to identify once they are bigger!

Thanks, really helpful. Just googled Kalanchoe Pumila and it's beautiful, so that's something to look forward to.
