    A coworker just quit, and gave me the right 3 plants. They were in his cube, 10+ feet away from a north facing window. I had no clue he even them, since we aren’t allowed to have plants. The pineapple looking one is struggling hard, so I’d love to know how to help it. Same with the very long one. The leftmost one I got yesterday at a nursery, but it wasn’t labeled, so I don’t know what it is. Any help is appreciated!

  2. First, they need dividing and transplanting. I would use good terracotta pots 1-2 inches in diameter larger than the ones they’re in now. Make sure the pots have a hole in the bottom for drainage and a dish to place under them. Use good cactus soil, like Miracle Grow cactus blend. I think you’ve got some great plants there, but I don’t know what they are lol. They definitely need more sun though.

    I would guess the pineapple one is a type of Haworthia. The one to the right of it gets called fairy castle cactus and the one to the left may be a type of fittonia, drama queens when they get dry.
