Found this little guy sitting on the shelf at Lowe’s today not in a pot, and with no empty pot in sight. Somebody had ripped it out of its nursery pot and shook of the soil, leaving it there basically bare root 😳 I took it to the checkout and asked if I could buy it for $1 and they said yes!! So happy with my little steal of a deal!

What’s the name of this plant? It looks like a snake plant, but with ridges. Very attractive.

I believe it’s Haworthiopsis limifolia, or “fairy washboard” but am not 100% positive!

Poor baby ! I found a orchid without its display pot on the bottom shelf at Home Depot they gave it to me for free

It does look like a fairy washboard Haworthia, but that is a large one. You did good.
