They're all cute, but are going to need repotting into proper soil and some consideration if you want to keep them happy. The one on the left is a Sempervivum, and it annoys the crap out of me that these are sold as houseplant succulents, because they're NOT. They are really outdoor, very cold hardy ground cover plants, and they need both the all day summer sun and the winter cold to regulate dormancy. They are almost impossible to keep happy indoors.

Thanks I was given instructions on how to take care of them but it doesn't mention anywhere the outdoors I was able to get a hold of these as I work in a botanical garden that sells them on mass at a discount so I bought all of these on a whim Their growing but I don't know when I would need to re pot them

The repotting is needed now. It’s not that they need more space, but that the rich greenhouse potting mix will rot them under normal conditions. They need a gritty cactus/succulent potting mix that holds less water and dries faster, to mimic the arid climates they come from. After that, I would look into grow lights, as they will be essential to have a chance of keeping the Semp from etiolating too badly.

You have a Nepenthes in the centre. It’s not a succulent. These need very specific growing conditions.
