First two are fuzzy. Next I hope it’s a kiwi. Third it’s huge but fragile. Last are 3 different cuttings but the top one is a blueish grey.
I’m addicted an want to know how to propagate all of these.
Thanks

Wow, Brie, that’s quite an assortment; most of these are fairly common as cuttings or little plants, which generally means they’re easy to grow and have success with.
Starting at the top; Picture 1; this looks like Echeveria setosa or one of it’s hybrids, and the scalloped edge one is a Kalanchoe species of some kind – possibly Lavender Scallops, as you say it’s fuzzy.
2 is an Aeonium of some kind, until it grows a little more, it’s impossible to pin it down much more than that.
3 could be a Crassula, possibly a crested form of C. ovata, which is the Jade Plant.
4 looks like a mixed bag; blue Echeveria species, then another Kalanchoe species, and some kind of Sedum.
One thing to watch is the type of soil you’re potting them into – this looks like some kind of bark based potting soil, which is meant for jungle type plants like ferns and philodendrons.
Succulents might survive for a while in this, but they tend to be prone to root rot and other problems because it just doesn’t drain well enough.
Spring for a bag of cactus soil, or mix your own from sterilized potting soil, half and half with perlite, pumice or small gravel.
Hope that helps,
Jacki
