Comments (7)Hi! Thank you everyone who had responded to my post. I had finally found out what plant this is. It is a sansevieria cylindrica. It is one of the weirdest plants I've ever seen. I returned to the store and had asked one of the salespeople what this plant was (Which is what I should've done in the first place...). The salesperson was so nice, she even placed an order for some sansevieria to be delivered the following day. Again, thank you for all of the responses. Everyone had brought up names and photos of plants I have always been curious about and have wanted to buy, but have never known what to call them by way of identification.

Comments (5)Hello, I agree with what was said about the soil. If you keep it, make it at least a 50/50 soil and perlite mix, and incorporate the rocks at the bottom of the pot.....they are not helping when they are positioned at the bottom. Also, get a pot with drainage holes. The reason being is that when you water, you will water thoroughly, until you see it dripping out of those holes...then you won't water again until the soil is dry or your plants look like they need it...you will learn to read your plants the longer you have them. They need more light, so get them as close to that window as you can. As long as the air around the window isn't actually at freezing and there is no draft, they should be fine. Many succulents can take temps down to 20 degrees, as long as their roots aren't wet. Nancy...See MoreHelp! I think my succulents may be dying! Can I save them?!
Comments (17)You need to get them growing properly first before thinking of what you do with them at a later stage. If you are new to this, best keep them individually potted as they are different types, you can always group pots in a container and cover rims with stones for a group look! Whether they will pull round remains to be seen as they look pretty damaged at the moment. You won't be able to buy a soil off the shelf, sadly no one sems to sell anything that resembles a good fast draining mix, that's why we need the separate ingredients to mix together.

Comments (4)I get the same problem, partly because I propagate them inside. Partly because I go away a lot. I've noticed that those that don't die after I've potted them are too top heavy and end up bending and laying on the potting mix. They always send out roots from the nodes all along the stems. I never know what to do with them, so they limp along unhappily and often die. A couple of my Kalanchoe babies just lay down fully, stem dried up and they disappeared, assumed dead. A few days ago I saw them again. They'd rerooted from the bottom of the head and look ok with no stretching out. So with my other stretched babies I'm helping them to reroot from under the head by raising the mix a bit, if they're not actually touching it. I'm hoping that they will grow a new compact stem with branches. At some time I hope to be able to snip off the old stem and be left with compact attractive plants. Well that remains to be seen, which doesn't help you much at all. Maybe we could share this journey and learn more of what works better with what. I put a thread about this too, a few days ago lol. I'll see if I can find it and put the link in here....See Moremesembs
