So I rarely go to Walmart, but I had to stop in on my way home from work today. Now the Walmart by where I work is pitiful, their plant section consists of like a dozen sad and dying succulents and a few scraggly palms. That’s it.
But I went through anyway, and I decided to try looking for anything on the floor that looked prop-able. Most of the leaves I found were dried crispy and brown, but I did find these babies after some searching. A couple are also growing teeny tiny roots already!!!
I also found knocked over out of its pot, under a shelf, this poor little succulent. He was a dollar and looked like he could be saved (and *bone dry*, omg!) So he got instantly watered when I got home and the leaves got put onto some moist succulent dirt.
Any recommendations to help them grow? Any ideas what kinds they might be? I’ve never propagated succulents before.
Also I asked if I could keep the leaves and the Walmart worker looked at me like I was crazy for asking. So I felt less guilt.

Looks mostly like a variety of jade. The small plant in the middle looks like gollum jade, the larger round smooth leaves also look like a type of jade but harder for me to identify specifically. The only two that I don’t think are a type of jade is the large scalloped edge leaf looks like kalanchoe and the upper right leaf possibly some type of echeveria. I don’t have specific positive guesses for the others, other than possibly a type of jade. Looking good! They don’t always make it, and they generally have to be a clean fall not snapped for them to root properly but sometimes they can surprise you! Gollum jades look really cool
Edit: This is all looking at your plant tray. The purple succulent you are bringing life to also looks like a type of echeveria to me. They often need more sun to not stretch out and sometimes they are extra thirsty but each is unique. Just to carful to wait for it to dry out between watering as you figure out how much water it likes, succulents can be more prone to root rot.

The big leaf with wavy edges could be a type of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.
