    hello, hoping someone can help ID these plants.

    Number one has a fuzzy nearly round leaves, a fruity smell(pretty strong, almost like gum) and can be propagated with cuttings, does not flower.

    Number two is possibly a cactus? spikey circles that will produce babies, as you can see in the center one, and does produce a flower stalk with yellow flowers. I saw that once under my old neighbors care and then she moved and I seem to have been slowly killing it.

    Number three, this one jumps: growing long and producing roots wherever it is near the ground.

    It is number two that I'm concerned about, the others it's just curiosity. 2 just seems to rot away, I just repotted it in cactus mix thinking it was too wet. but you can see that the outer ring ones are poor looking.

    Any advice is appreciated- thanks!

    Since these guys (two and three) are succulents, I have to figure that you are keeping them 'way' too wet.
