saved from being swept up at IKEA

Post by madaboutsnails »

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.

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

Once the sansevieria gets established, it should grow quickly. Adjust light and moisture as needed and you may be pleasantly rewarded. :D
