Hello there!
I’m quite new to the forums so please forgive any of my flaws. I hope you’ve been having an amazing day!
So I’ve been a collector of succulents and cacti now for only about a year now (still a beginner). I actually purchased this first curly leaved succulent from Aldi (they were sat there all dry and sad - I had to bring one home!) but it didn’t state what it was. I’ve tried googling and I can’t find anything! I have had the second succulent for about 8 months now. I know it looks like he is reaching for sunlight but I promise he is in a double windowed space with plenty to drink, I guess he wants to be different. But I was told it was a money plant by the garden centre and when I looked money plant up, it wasn’t what I own. So help with both of these would be marvellous!
Thank you!

Comments (22)Thank you, Printesa and T Grey, I didn’t see your messages until now. It’s been 2 months since we bought it and I am still not over the shock of being so lucky to wake up and see that view every day. We’ve been busy, very busy actually, trying to find tradesmen to sort out some things. Firstly, we discovered 5 wasps nests and (unfortunately but necessary) had them destroyed by this very chatty guy. Then we noticed some gutters were blocked and had another chatty chap around to clean them. Then came the chimney sweeper, the guy who is going to sand&varnish the floors, the painter-decorator, electrician, and so on. Plus we ‘inherited’ a gardener (thank the gods!) I was having nightmares thinking about maintaining all that garden on my own. Also, our architect friend agreed to take on the barn renovation and already submitted a pre-application plan to the council. So everything is on track; however I am ‘not allowed’ (says Andrew) to buy any furniture until the interior renovations are done, I had to restrict myself at getting tableware and bedding and towels (John Lewis had wonderful stuff on sale last month). I’ll probably start pestering this forum soon! I’m rubbish at choosing blinds and curtains and the likes, plus I am unclear about how to furnish a couple of rooms. Many thanks again (and here’s a pic of a rainbow)!...See MorePlease can someone identify this light for me?
Comments (6)I’m very well, thank you. :-) Looks like off the wall has already found it for you. Nice lamp, nice room. Apart perhaps from the strange wall hanging on the wall behind the bed. I personally would get that off the wall... :-D...See MoreCan you help me remodel this flat
Comments (21)Thanks everyone SO MUCH for your ideas and input. I think we have decided to scrap the 2 bed idea for the moment (not permanently though so your plans will come in handy down the line!!) due to costs as getting the ideal layout will involve so much remodelling and we have the other 3 to do as well. Plus we may extend out in the future so could create the second bedroom then! My head is exploding from decision fatigue and frustration with it so..... I have a new plan. Leave as one double bed but I like the idea some mentioned about moving the kitchen into that middle room! So now the lounge will be a lounge diner with the table in the window as kindly suggested. It will double as a spare bedroom with sofa bed(s) in! Then drop down to the kitchen with keeping the fire door into the hallway (hall will wall off so it's part of the one flat and not accessed from the hall and that gives us a storage cupboard over the old set of 3 stairs). Then the current bathroom we will create an entrance from the hall and push the shower back to the outside wall so it's a good size. Door from the hall stays for the main bedroom. (help with bathroom size would be good?) We figured if you have bedrooms at either end then either party can use the kitchen and bathroom in the middle of the flat without walking through the lounge! And the same for the bathroom. What do you think???? (if I could delete all my other posts I would as I've cluttered up my thread now, LOL)...See MoreAngie

5 years agoNot 100% but I think the 1st one is an echeveria which has grown a bit leggy. My first thought was a money plant as well but looking at the leaf shape the echeveria has a slight point the same as yours. Did it start out as a rosette shape? The tall growth means it’s not getting enough sunlight (see example image), south facing window is best. You may also be able to trim it and propagate a new plant from the cutting wether it’s a money plant or echeveria. 2nd one also a complete guess but I’d say it was a kalanchoe.
