Probable Sansevieria parva?
Comments (10)Thanks, Purple! I took another pic this morning that shows a bit more of the plant. It was outside under the filtered light of the arbor to start with then I gradually exposed it to more and more sun during the growing season. I watered it once or twice a week depending on how hot it was (at least as far I remember that's what I did). I think the thing that really got it to bloom was I never repotted it. The poor thing is really root bound and in fact the cheap plastic hanging pot it is in is breaking apart. When it is done blooming I'll have to pot it into a larger pot. When it got cold it was moved inside to a sunny window at my partner's job until the flower spikes appeared then it was moved back home and it's been under the T5 lights in my bedroom. :) -Robert...See MoreJust a photo of a couple young Sans.
Comments (5)Stush- I have an all-green masoniana that would probably beat that. I don't know that would be fair, however, as masoniana is naturally big! Maybe we should limit that contest to trifasciata types. Elichka- the mix is a bit of this and a bit of that.........Commercail cactus mix, course sand, a bit of garden soil, some perlite, a little bone meal, a bit of...........See MoreMy new Sans I got in August
Comments (20)Hay Mike, Now that is going to get a lot of attention. (a lot of Mikes here). Now that you said you have a lot of sans and only a few trifasciata. Now the hard part. The trifasciata group is the most popular due to there ease of ownership. Very little demands as a house plant goes. It is these qualities that drew us to this plant in the fist place. And the Hahnii group is some of the most beautiful plants anyone could own. Don't read this wrong, I would love to have several of you plants but also the demand of more light and skill. Thanks to some very nice generous people here on this site, I now own several non trifasciata type and I love them. I only hope I can grow them the way they should be grown. Summer is easy but as you well know, winter is our killer season. This year should be different. Keeping warmer and dryer. As something Mike always said, 'Show me yours'. We need more action here this time of year. My newest ones so far;...See MoreS. parva running away
Comments (31)Russ, the mix is diatomaceous earth, granite, fir bark, and Pro Mix. The Pro Mix had to happen. With my habits, using a chunkier mix will harm plants. They get too dry. I have a small collection of Sansevieria, my favorites are compliments of other Sans collectors and growers, here! The others came from corners of a crowed nursery or clearance shelves. I have a variegated Senagambica, Silver Frost, a jade marginated that may stack, an Asahi that may explode in growth this year, this parva, All favorites. I have around 30 pots of Sans. I really like the Hahniis and smaller Futuras. Sansevieria cylindrica dies if I look at it. Someday I hope I can my parva is a good grower. It might mean I am one, too!! Basia, is that a glass enclosure you have plants in?...See MoreKaren S. (7b, NYC)
