Cacti & Succulents

"Will to live"

Bringing plants in, I found few strays/forgotten/unseen before leaves and some broken parts & cuttings of various succulents. They really are great survivors.
This one, I believe, is xGraptoveria 'Fred Ives'
It was sitting in empty pot - I was probably planning to plant cutting but must have forgotten about it. So many roots...

Howard, Rosemarie - you are right.
Having to pot up lots of them now. It's your SOS system roro, Canadian style - no soil for 2-3 months) lol

I hope this will illustrate to newbies that they are really tough, and often they are better off if we don't fuss too much.
It didn't receive any attention from me since it broke off main plant sometimes in July. Completely forgotten. Watered only whenever we had rain.
