First off can anyone ID these 2 new cacti I got, the one jade looking one is a "Ghost Plant" that I have had for some time now, you can see in the other pic I have several leaves that dropped off rooted in rapid rooter plugs. The other 2 are recent additions rescued from home depot for $1.98 each.
My other questions are about propagating Jade from cuttings. Just a quick run down of where the best place to cut is all I need, can I just use leaf cuttings or does it neet to be stem? What about the x-mas cactus, where do I take cuttings from on that?
Also about my little Aloe Vera- I read the pups hurt the mother if they get to large, taking away nutrients from it, are any of these getting to that size? Its just a baby its self, not sure if I want to put it through the stress of digging up and separating pups yet.

The succulent with the grayish fuzzy leaves looks like it might be Kalanchoe tomentosa, also called Panda Plant.
The small cacti growing together in a bunch appear to belong to the mammillaria, but I don't know the species. (I have a difficult time determining the species name of a mammillaria until I see the flowers. Even then, some are very much alike. Sorry.
)
Jade plants ... and your Kalanchoe tomentosa, too ... can be propagated from individual leaves.
Each individual segment of the Holiday cactus can start a new plant, although I seem to have better luck when I use stem pieces that are 2 sections long.
I would wait until the aloe vera pups grew to be about 3 to 4 inches tall before I potted them up individually. It's nice if they have their own roots, even if just tiny ones, but I've had totally rootless pups start fine.

Wow, thank you. You always have the answers.
If anyone else is interested maybe they can find more info [url=https://cactiguide.com/cactus/?start=-10&genus=Mammillaria&species=]here[/url]. I glanced threw all 18 pages but didnt really try to match one with my little one, when I'm feeling better I'll put more effort into it.
