What kind of self-watering pots are these? A few kinds are: Home Depot's system where you have an outer ceramic pot and then a clay pot on the inside. Neither of these have holes. You then put water between them and the inner pot soaks up moisture. Earthbox/Gardener's supply which is a large rectangle all one piece. Walmart which has a very small reservoir in what look like normal round plastic pots. Homemade Earthboxes out of either large rectangular containers or 5 gallon food buckets.

Oh Maggiepatty, you're too funny! Thanks for the chuckle. Our TV room is on the north side of the house. It has East, West & North windows. But the downfall is even with new windows it still gets cold in there.(Old house)..but better than it was........My biggest south facing room has a Bow window. I'm very fortunate to have that... My old sewing room was also south facing, but I couldn't take it anymore (5 yrs).. I was burning up in there (Double windows). So my Mr. built me a sewing room in the nice cool basement...where I do have 1 plant actually. I have 2 hanging in the old sewing room behind lace curtains for filtering. Every room has a ceiling fan except Bathroom & Kitchen. I never turn them off. never. Photo Synthesis, your ZZ is Gorgeous. just Beautiful. Loving your little mushroom too. Tiffany, Love those flowers, so different...like they belong in a magical forest.

http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Dracaenaceae/33254/Sansevieria_gracilis It does look like gracilis to me but it also looks like pictures of b allyi. Synonyms would make sense. I hope you're able to find something, rina. I found this: "It is closely related to Sansevieria gracilis but differs in shorter stolons, shorter leaves with rough surface, distinctive colour banding and shorter inflorescence. The species was only named as S. ballyi by Len Newton in 2004, although it has been in cultivation for a while and is now reasonably common, but it is often still encountered as ‘Sansevieria sp. Bally 12681’. The cultivars 'Minnie' appears to be a dwarf form of S. ballyi with much shorter and stubby leaves and grows to about 5 cm across before sending out stolons." -http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/PLANT/Family/Dracaenaceae/32498/Sansevieria_ballyi aloebot - Do you remenber the provenance of this plant? Do you remember how it got that tag? I was wanting to ask you how long you had some of these plants anyway.
