seems to be an E. trigona;
These root easily in soil. You might be able to root it in water, but it can only increase the chances for rot I fear.

I have frequently rooted E trigonus in water. They root easily either way.

#2 is a Ferocactus of some kind.

#3 certainly looks like M. prolifera. The fruits of that species are very long-lasting, provide a colorful display year 'round.
