Help identifying 7 succulents
Help identifying 7 succulents
Hello. I have a small cacti and succulent collection, and I've been trying to identify what the succulents are. A few of them have had a mealybug infection, but I think I've taken care of it. It has left them in rather bad shape though, making one in particular hard to recognise. Any help with id would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Re: Help identifying 7 succulents
My take on them:
Aloe, yes...can't say I know which species, though.
Crassula 'Hobbit' (one that seems to be on steroids~think they are marketing it as 'Ogre's Ears', not 'Hobbit').
Could be Echeveria lilacina, but maybe not (get it to grow well, then re-post plz)
Austrocylindropuntia subulata f. monstrose
Pachy-something maybe Pachyphytum bracteosum
Echeveria (has E. shaviana in it)-but hard to say what it is
a Mammilaria
Maybe that'll get you started...

Last one is a Mammillaria polythele cultivar, a monstrose form with few or no spines. It goes by names like "Inermis" or var nudum.

I've seen it under var nudum and also inermis as ian said
Re: Help identifying 7 succulents
Thanks guys! I've looked up E. shaviana and those were exactly the flowers it had, so beautiful! it is in a really sad state now, hopping that as long as there are leaves, there's hope but definitely don't think it'll flower this year The Mammillaria polythele var nudum label also seems to correspond well with the flowers I observed on it. Any suggestions to ensure it flowers again? It was in flower during the late summer (Sept time). Should I remove the dead flowers?
Re: Help identifying 7 succulents
They usually do fine without removing new buds will push them out regardless, just give it nice sun, sum water in hotter months only when the soil is dry to the touch. Don't water if soils wet or damp wait for it to dry out completely. And you'll prob get buds again!

The aloe looks kind of like aloe nobilis, but I cannot say that for sure.
