saved from being swept up at IKEA
Went to IKEA today and had to pass through their plant section. These poor succulent pieces were being swept up with the rubbish, so I picked them up, took them home and potted them! I only have a small collection of plants, so if they do grow, even though they are common, they will be much loved

Good for you! I don't like seeing any greenery wasted. Best of luck with them.

The echeveria dint make it and only 1 1/5 of the spear sansevieria survived. The other little succulent, is just looking a bit thirsty but doing nothing at present.... we shall see

If the Sansevieria is round leaves, as opposed to flat leaved, its probably Sansevieria cylindrica, Ikea sell those a lot.

Re: saved from being swept up at IKEA
Once the sansevieria gets established, it should grow quickly. Adjust light and moisture as needed and you may be pleasantly rewarded.
