Comments (21)This is a beautiful and widely available cv. It is however problematical. It needs VERY CONTROLLED WATERING and demands warmth and bright light. It apparently does well in a light garden. Mine from Home Depot rotted away after a single watering. The plant was already wet and in a peat based soil when purchased. I should have let it dry out completely and then repotted it. It rotted even though it had an extensive root system. It requires careful, controlled husbandry and I have learned that once it starts to rot you can't stop it. I have not seen it in either Lowe's, Home Depot or Wal*Mart in Tucson Arizona but it does appear at certain times of the year in Louisville, KY and obviously elsewhere.

Comments (9)Thanks for all the replies. I think it is good enough for me to know it is the Futura type (Medium size with wide leaves). And looks like it is "Black Gold". Lovemysans, are you saying that there is a "Black Gold" Normal full size type. Nevertheless, I love this little guy. One more question, What could be the species of the San in the 4th photo? In another word, I wanted a San with the dark green leaves without the light gray-green cross-banding, with the yellow stripes on edge, and taller (Normal Full size type), what species should I look for? Again, Thanks a lot...See MoreSansevieria trifasciata Futura? (ID Needed)
Comments (14)Stush, I do see what you mean by opening a can of worms. I wouldn't have thought plants could be so... subjective. Granted, I do remember reading somewhere how two plants (exactly the same with regard to species, etc) could be placed in two different environments and end up looking different overtime, so I think I can understand where the worms come from. *phew* Thanks for looking online for me, you were able to find more than I was able to come across. After looking at 'Futura Superba' online just now, a website (not sure if it's "valid") stated that it's a hybrid between S. trifasciata 'Laurentii' and a hahnii. That would make sense to me as the leaves are wider than I'm used to seeing on a Sans 'laurentii', but not quite tall enough to be a Compacta (at least from looking online, Compacta looks taller than a hahnii). I learned something today, apparently Futura refers to "medium height" (generally?). Thanks for sparking further interest in this plant....See Moreplantomaniac08
