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?

    They’re both varieties of Sansevieria (Snake Plant). Super easy to care for as long as you can refrain from watering them all the time.

      What I’m seeing online, the leaves should be standing straight up. Any tips on how I should care for these floppy ones? Should I prune them, repot them, or anything?

        It could be a variety of things, it’s hard to know exactly from just the pictures, but some reasons why they could be drooping is them not getting enough light and/or too much water. I always repot new plants that I get especially if they don’t look healthy just to check for any rot or fungus and I like to put them in my own dirt too. You can remove the dead leaves if you’d like, but I’d leave the green ones be.

          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!
