More about your plants:
Haworthiopsis 'Concolor has notably long, slender leaves that are speckled with lots of tiny white dots. The foliage can shade between lime and dark green and has a bumpy texture. Its tall bloom stalks with tiny white blossoms can be cut away without harming the plant.
Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi 'Kiwi': Flat, blue-green leaves with a scalloped, pink edge. The leaves have a powdery pastel appearance from their coating of natural wax that helps them grow in full sun. Each spring it sends up a bloom stalk from which dangle numerous, tubular flowers of dusty pink. It can grow up to 1.0' tall but it's easily kept compact by pruning, and any cuttings can be transplanted to re-root.

Its small, round leaves sprout from thick branches and can flush red at the edges when exposed to direct sun. The species is native to South Africa and Mozambique where it grows en masse on rocky slopes. This cultivar can reach about 12.0" tall, but indoor growing, small pots, and pruning will keep sweet Baby Jade a small, bonsai size.
