Welcome home newbies + succulent nursery.

I have only one rule!
"There is always room for one more cactus!"
And I repeat myself that rule religiously every time I am in a supermarket.
And see? It works! I only got one cactus :))
_{This time...}

And so those three little things ended up living with me now. The supermarket we usually go to few has a nice selection of plants and from time to time they have very nice cacti! That doesn't happen often, so I usually get the ones I like. This was the only one like that in the whole tray.
I grabbed it and didn't let go!

Sulcorebutia frankiana it is called (at least that's what cactus forum claims). One large, mature plant with multiple little babies around. As a bonus I noticed tiny little flower buds so I knew I had to have it. Even if the buds would blast and didn't bloom this year.

Faucaria which I am hoping to be different than the one I already have.
They have such cute yellow flowers.

Graptoveria of some sort I think. There is so many different types out there mixed with each other. And I am a sucker for the rosette types succulents.
Usually when I get one home I pick a few bottom leaves and I try to propagate it right away. Just to have more :)

And this is how one of the babies look like. I got the plant few weeks ago and in that time the leaf managed to root and start to grow little leaves. Yay! New plant on the way.

And speaking of new baby plants. I have this tray on my kitchen window where I drop all the leaves I accidentally broke off from my plants or found on shop shelves. Most root really fast and as soon as they are big enough I plant them in separate pots and make room for more leaves.

That furry one is Kalanchoe Tomentosa. Few leaves grow roots, but this one is the biggest.
The flipped leaves behind is Crassula Ovata ‘Gollum’. Both of those are new to me so I hope they grow well.

Here is the whole nursery tray.
Aren't they all cute? With different colours and shapes.
