Normal or Pests?

I was reading that string of plants have a natural life cycle and I was wondering if that’s what is going on here and if I need to propagate what’s still healthy. I did notice a mealy bug problem a few months back so could this be attributed to that? I tried looking up what mealy bug damage looks like but all I saw was pictures of fuzz on plants. Please help.

All types growing

Lots of growth in 10 months. Teardrops has a bud emerging. String of hearts are 7’ and needles is 11’ long. Fun group of plants to watch grow

Ants

Is it ok for there to be ants in my succulents? My SoP has the most but I’ve seen them in all of them. I tried using Taro to remove them but they weren’t interested. Could this also be why I have more tear shaped leaves than I think seems normal?

You guys!

These two I swear are on steroids! I don’t know how they are thriving so much more than the rest of my succulents. These pictures are only a month apart.

Guidance on trimming/propagating, please?

Hi everyone! This string of turtles is my first successful string plant after learning about taking care of them better. It’s getting extremely long, and was wondering if someone could give me some guidance on trimming and/or propagating this? Can I just cut the strings at about the halfway point and put them on some media? Or should I do a different location? Is a soil/perlite mix ok? Thank you in advance!!
