It looks in decent shape, it was just loose on the sidewalk. It’s pretty dried out but has a fair amount of roots still attached and although slightly turning white-ish it’s still strong and sharp haha
Any tips on how to save it?!
Thought I’d ask before I just stick it in some soil!

Absolutely! Just needs some good cactus soil, a small pot and lots of light!
Think so but looks like it started to rot.
In my experience succulents are almost impossible to kill. Just stick it in the ground in a spot with plenty of sun
I wish I lived in a land where people just left plants for me to find on the sidewalk. Sounds magical.
Congrats on the new addition
It doesn’t look super healthy, so don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t make it. The root ball & soil look similar to mine that dried out and became hydrophobic from neglect (sorry lil cactus buddies) which I was able to resolve by soaking the root ball in water prior to replanting. Not a foolproof method as I ended up losing a couple anyway due to overwatering while trying to revive them.
This had been stolen from someone’s yard and dropped as they escaped, I bet
You could always detangle the rootball and get rid of any loose soil, you newer know if it was the problem; so better to repot all fresh
yes, plant it in a nice well composted pot and it will grow
i ususally juts pick these things up when i find them and stick in any pot and it they grow. cactus and cycad’s are easy to grow
Always check for pests first when you pick something up.
