A neighbor I was close with recently died and their family asked if I would take the plants, of course I said yes, but 2 of them I know very little about.

I think they might be the same plant at different life stages? Can anyone help me ID these?

    That makes sense, I think he was leaving it outside and we’ve had a lot of rain lately, it’s also been pretty cold.

    Thanks for the info!

      They need very little water. Especially during winter. Seconding everything on the other comment too. I would repot them with fresh, well draining soil and if you see anything squishy and brown, cut it off. If you have to cut on the roots, leave it out for a day before putting it back in soil to let the cut callus over. Snake plants are tough, they won’t mind.

      Depending on your local climate, they would probably make better indoor plants. They’ll tolerate low light areas that other plants won’t.

      One of my mom’s that exploded the pot it was growing in. I wish I had got a better picture.
