What's this please.

Could anybody tell me what these tiny plants are that are growing in my house leek compost please?

I have the PlantNet app on my smartphone but it doesn't seem to know this one.

Do the leaves feel waxy? If so it could be a succulent of some sort.

I know what the plant is - it's a house leek.

It's all those little things sprouting up round it that I want to know.

Too small to tell - but I'll bet they're weeds!

If you download an app called Plantnet onto your mobile phone then take a photo of the plant, then get the app to identify it.........it's a really good app.

I think they are offshoots of the main plant.

Re: What's this please.

It's called Echeveria Albicans and that is a rather leggy specimen. My gran used to refer to them as ice plants but I have no idea why.
