What the heck do I have?

9 years ago

I picked up a pot of succulents from my local hyvee, but im not sure what they all are. I think I know a couple but the others I dont. So advice on what they are, watering, sunlight, ext would be great.
First, Im 90% sure this is a haworthia. file:///C:/Users/Fi/Downloads/20170727_014445.jpg
Pretty sure this is a sansevieriea. file:///C:/Users/Fi/Downloads/20170727_014431.jpg
No clue on this. file:///C:/Users/Fi/Downloads/20170727_014457.jpg
And no clue on this. file:///C:/Users/Fi/Downloads/20170727_014438.jpg
Thanks for all the help.

    Maybe try uploading the photos again? I can't see them, just the file names. (or maybe it's just me?)

    I don't grow any of the types in your pics, but suggest that they are potted as individuals as often combination planting like theirs doesn't work. It crowds the plants together which doesn't allow for good air circulation. Also, different plants sometimes need slightly different culture despite all being either cacti and/or succulents. Good fast draining soils and pots with drainage for each one would be best in my opinion.

    Not sure what's going on with the little guy between the sanseveria and the haworthia, it looks to be in big trouble, I would definitely unpot and inspect....even if you do decide to keep them all together, he needs to be taken out and checked over. Further pics of what you find regarding him will help others suggest what to do.

    What kind of soil mix is under the stone topping please?

    I have no idea. Like i said i got it from hyvee, so it had no info on it just the price. It looked to be the worst of the bunch with several spots dried and dying, so i knew it all might die or something, but i always save the underdog. However the rocks are all in place, glued together or something, and from trying to poke a stick down in it seems the rocks are a bit deep. I don't think i can get at the soil or repot them without risking destruction. So keeping them like this may be the only option.

    Any idea what the two unknown ones are? Also why does he seem to be in big trouble?

    Saving the underdog is a lovely idea, but since you don't know how to do this, pls realize you're really having US save the underdog.

    Next time, get the best you can find, not the worst, if you wish to maximize OUR chances of helping you.

    You've bought incompatible plants planted together badly. Herein the US, some folks buy the plants w/ the rocks glued on & they just have to remove the rocks to save the plants.

    I see nothing wrong with "US saving the underdog". People willing to help will comment, those who don't want to won't. At least it has a chance this way. The only better option for these lil guys would've been if a more skilled person came along, but seeing as it was tucked away in a corner i doubt it woukdve been seen by anyone. I only did because I'm a manager there so i spend a lot of time there.

    Bad chances are better than none haha.

    You need to get them out of the container. Use screwdriver or something similar to break up the rocks; hey are glued and it may take time & damage, but unless taken proper care of plant they may not live anyway.

    Are there any drainage holes in that container? If not, drill some and use for different plants this s too deep for succulents.

    Get individual smaller pots. Clean all old soil from roots, even wash if necessary. Inspect roots, cut off any dead, dry or mushy. Get some better mix; some ppl use Cactus & Succulent soil and mix it with 50-75% of sifted perlite. Repot all into better mix. Depending on how much of the roots were lost, wait day or few with first watering. Set in dappled shade for few days after repotting, then start gradually moving into more and more light. Sansevieria and Haworthia will grow well in less light, but not heavy shade.

    Just a revisit to the ID; the haworthia is Haworthia Attenuata and the sansevieria is most likely Sansevieria Trifasciata. I'm not too sure about the cacti but they're probably from the Mammillaria genus. Rina's put up great info; if the seller has glued the rocks together, all bets are off for the quality of soil and it's best to get the plants out quick. That being said, the haworthia and sansevieria look pretty healthy. Good luck!
