Looks like a gollum Jade. Same care as regular Jade plant. Very bright light, even some sun. Only water when totally dry. Succulent/cactus soil. Needs lots of drainage so if you use premixed cactus soil, add more grit. As a beginner, I would suggest shallow terracotta pot with drain hole. Helps to avoid overwatering.

Middle front is an elephant bush. I don’t think that is same as yours.

I have several peperomia and I think yours is a peperomia red log. I think that’s the correct name.
