New hahnii cultivar???
Comments (7)Roberto, Keep a look out for pups. New growth from the roots. It is interesting to see what develops. Also I do believe it will come true from stem cuttings as does regular hahnii does but also would love to see what develops. Please don't disappear. I would like to see what happens. I don't believe it is a hybrid but a cultivar. They grow hundreds of hahnii in Thailand and look for any changes that may be of interest. Their growing conditions for Sans is excellent. I hope they become popular here so I may get one sometime in the future. Stush...See MoreHahnii Silver Marginated - rot
Comments (19)Sounds good Lennie, I'm glad you found some potential solutions to those bad spots. Just out of curiosity, what does the bottle of Garden Safe Fungicide say is the active ingredient? Could be the same neem oil that's in your other spray. I can't identifiy the close-up you picture here, is this the same Silver Hahnii from your initial pics? If so, that's a remarkable recovery from the rotted mess you had before. I think you're gonna make it to spring and summer. Stush, a few years ago I bought 6 Golden Hahnii's at one time since they were only $3 each at Walmart. I figured at least one would make it for a few years... don't have a single one right now. That said, I wasn't using a fungicide or insecticide, and now that I'm focusing on using one or both religiously, I think I might be able to grow it. Next one I find, I'll buy and give it one more shot, maybe Bayer's is the answer like it has been for you. I'm slugging it over the entire plant with no ill effects, thinking direct contact with the fungus might have a quicker effect. But again, I'm diluting by half. Think I'll go full-strength on the soil only, thanks for the tip. I've been really scratching my head about Golden Hahnii since trif. Craigii is the same thing only in a full, trifasciata-sized plant, and I have very little trouble with it. My largest leaf so far is about 8 inches, but it's devilishly slow. Maybe as a group Hahnii's are a bit more sensitive to fungi and such. Interesting about your Futura Asahi, I'm familiar with the name but not how it looks. It's not in Chahinian's early book The Trifasciata Varieties, so it's a newer one. ----- Aha, I took the time to check Google and found your picture posted here back around June last year. I used to have Morgenstern's Futura Aurea but lost it many years ago. It appears to me that Golden Hahnii, Futura Aurea, and Craigii are the same variegates within each size-class of sansevieria, short, mid-range and tall. I think Juan Chahinian has talked about this phenomenon before, at some point every form of variegation will appear in every size-class of sansevieria. Interesting stuff!! My email is chammer@cfl.rr.com or bluesea14808@yahoo.com. Rainy here today and warmer, yesterday was brisk and windy in the 60s but I ain't complaining. By mid-March I've usually got clear sailing til next winter. Best, Russ...See MoreRIP Golden Hahnii
Comments (12)I didn't realize you still had a firm rhizome. I haven't had much luck in saving those either, the rot seems to continue. I have read about seed sterilization in either aglaonemas or sansevierias, in which they were immersed in 10 percent bleach solution with water for 10 minutes before planting. I've been experimenting with that for rot in cuttings of both species, sort of a last-ditch measure. So you might try that with a few of the leaves. perhaps immerse a couple of them entirely, and a couple more with just the cut ends set down in the solution. That's one part of bleach to 9 parts water. I also sprayed down plants with rotting leaves with hydrogen peroxide, I don't see any side effects and I think it might have worked in a couple of sans but these were ones with rotted spots on leaves, not wholesale collapse of the plant. The leaf spots might be better helped with a systemic, and keeping the leaves absolutely dry at all times. But I try anything if the problem gets bad enough. All this said, I think the rot in Golden Hahnii is internal rather than a fungus or bacteria initiating it from the leaves, and no amount of chemicals can arrest it once it starts. I agree with Stush, bottom heat works wonders for sans. Keep us posted on how it's going. Russ...See MoreGolden Hahnii in Distress
Comments (1)There's a forum dedicated to plants. Perhaps that would be a better place to post (I would get into specifics of which forum, but I don't know enough!....Sorry)...See Morealoebot
