I'd love some help identifying these please. I'm a newbie so apologies if they are very obvious! Also the last one seems rather unhappy, and VERY leggy, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!

Hi Robyn, I think that 1 is a Gasteria, 2 a Haworthia, 3 Aloe aristata, 4 Echeveria pulidonis and 5 possibly a Crassula or a Sedum. They look nice plants, Echeveria pulidonis is one of my favourites, it will offset and grow into a nice clump. No 5 may be leggy because it has not had enough light. Hopefully others will fill in more details on the names for you, or correct me if I have gone wrong! Enjoy your plants.

No 2 looks like Haworthia limifolia, last one appears to be Crassula ovata, give it plenty of light to stop it becoming leggy. A care guide for the last one can be found here https://www.houseplantsexpert.com/jade-plant.html

1 - Gasteria
2 - agree, Haworthia limifolia
3 - It may be a form of A. aristata. There was a discussion about this plant on the forum some time back: see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=166076&start=10
4 - agree, Ecehveria pulidonis
5 - I don't think this is (the usual form, at least, of) Crassula ovata as it is not branching enough

Thank you everyone! That's really great, you all know so much I'm in awe.
The only one I'm not sure on is no.5 it just doesn't look quite the same as any of the Crassula Ovata photos I've seen. The leaves are rounder, and it seems to grow single stems rather than the tree like form. But I could just have neglected it

Crassula ovata is quite variable... there are also forms with smaller leaves, Crassula ovata 'Crosby's Compact' is just one of them.

Hi Robynfs,
I could well be very wrong with the ID of no.5 (I'm a mere novice when it comes to succulents) but I did a search for a 'neglected Crassula ovata' before I chose an ID and I saw a striking similarity.
Is it my eyes or is it in a clear glass jar with a green algae or moss growing around the roots?
Could it also be that No.5 is a cutting or cuttings of a much larger plant?

Here's the link that I chose the ID from, see what you think. (pic number 3 shows leaves very similar to your plant)

Thank you Bryan! I think you may be right, those photos do look very similar. I think I'll try repotting it. Do you think it might benefit from pruning?

Hi Robynfs,
If it was my plant I'd definitely re-pot it, then gradually introduce it to a better source of light but not direct sunlight and I would avoid watering for 3-5 days in case of any root damage caused by re-potting.

After a couple of weeks you might get a better idea of whether it is actually a Crassula ovata or not.

Regarding pruning - I'm not the best to advise on the how-to but if you do prune it keep it out of the bathroom until the cuts heal.

3 is Aloe 'Cosmo'
