My wife has five small succulents in two small pots -two in one pot and three in another.
Could you assist in identifying all five from photos attached 
The pot with two has roots starting to appear at bottom of pot.Would it be time to consider moving to bigger pot?

    1 & 2.Haworthia (different varieties)
    3.Echeveria secunda
    4 & 5.Echeveria (different varieties)
    I would re-pot all into single pots using a gritty compost.

    Top one is haworthia attenuata, I have one sitting in front of me right now! Looks like it might have an offset, take that off when you're repotting and pot it up separately

    Haworthia generally like a bit less sun than echeveria so definitely best separated.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Appreciate all responses.

    The current pots are 3 inch. 
    What size of pot would you recommend if we pot them individually.
  • madpenguinmadpenguin Posts: 2,543
    I would plant them back individually into 3" pots.
    If they grow quickly you can easily go up a pot size later.
    I find they grow best if they are not in too large a pot straight away.
