I have several unidentified succulents that I have received as gifts the last couple of years. For a long time they were nice and happy and now a couple are starting to crap out.

First up this tall green thing. A few weeks back it started to lean hard and now needs the window/other plant to help stand. It's lower leaves are also starting to fall off. Is there anything I can do to save it? Like maybe cut it and half and plant the top half?

Next up is this wide green and pink thing. It is also starting to shed leaves. They get droopy then shrivel. I can't tell if this is normal self pruning or a sign of something wrong.

Start with a stick like they use for tomato plants.

But yeah that thing is probably fucked unless it lets you prune the top.

I would think youd cut the top off and let it regrow from the bottom though. Its not a potato.

You're probably overwatering them. They don't like wet roots.

The first one needs more sunlight. Can't save the tall one.
I don't know how it can get more sunlight indoors.

Try replanting them individually in separate pots.

Also if you got them from a store like that make sure they have actual soil in the pot and not some weird fake shit.

Either over watering or not enough sunlight possibly both

top one you has too weak of a stem to support all that growth on top. Take some pieces off (try propagating those) to lessen the load

Download PlantNet on your phone

I'd pluck the sick petals, give everything a lot if sun, stop the water, read them a story, and play Metallica

This.

Also maybe prune the lower leaves.
I just did that with my Aloe plant last night.
I also gave it a spin to change up the light.
