Let me be the first to say it just perfect! That is a plant that I would be thrilled to have too. Good for you Manuel. A show stopper for sure. Now where will you display it?

myermike_1micha, Mike, You described it perfectly "Show stopper". I couldn't wait to share with you guys. This Sans is definitely going to be given priority and pride of place as far as sunlight. The seller tells me that she also has access to beautiful Fishcheris. That's going to be my next purchase next spring.

Glasshouse Works might be a more affordable option than facebook friends. Just saying.

I've ordered from GlassHouseWorks before. Small starter plants. This one is huge. I consider the $20 spent on this plant very cheap. I would gladly have paid twice that amount

Beautiful plant, Manuel -- and I think the price was reasonable considering what you got. It's a beauty, and it's hard to buy a large plant, well grown online for the price you paid. Enjoy it!

Pretty, interesting look. Is it potted in a shell? Are you going to repot or is it ok?

Very beautiful!

It's not potted. The seller doesn't believe in bare rooting, so she wrapped newspaper around the roots, with lots of soil on it. The roots seem to be very tight and compacted, but I don't even want to think about messing with it's roots at this time of the year. I'm going to find an appropriate sized terracotta pot, and place it in there. I'll take a pic of the root ball later. The price for the plant was $20 I see the postage on the outside of the pkg, and it says $23.00 So, I know she didn't lie about that.

Sounds good. I thought the newspaper looked like a sea shell! You'll enjoy your plant a lot. Glad it made the trip to you ok.

I think I got the same one as a gift, just one plant, it was under the name of Sansevieria Samuraii and over the year and a halve it grew 4 pups. I also found out that its proper name is Sansevieria Cylindrica var Patula 'Boncel'.

socks: I was also amazed that nothing broke. Dominyka: Respectfully I would disagree on that name. I have Boncels, and don't believe this is the same thing

Here's another that is similar - Sansevieria francisii. I got it at a plant exchange.

"Frosty Spears" is, I believe, known as a Sansevieria Suffriticosa (may not have spelled that correctly). From photos online, it looks similar to Sansevieria Cylindrica Patula as well. I think one distinction to look for may be the difference between a plant that grows in a fan shape, even if it's large, and a plant that grows in a more willy-nilly, all-over-the-place fashion, as the one you bought. I myself don't fuss too much about the official designation. I do know that Cylindricas I have owned tend to grow fast and pup well. So -- whatever it is exactly, I hope you experience the same growth rate! GREAT plant. I'm jealous!

Like Robin, I'm so jealous :) that is a gorgeous sans! And like Socks, I thought it was in a shell too lol

Nice Sans and looks like a space hog. Good find.

That is really fun to look at. It's all over the place. It looks like it arrived with no damage. It's hard to tell how large it is, but with all that material, all those leaves, I'm sure the box was a haul. How much does it weigh?

Shana Lee(6), I should've taken a picture of the mailing label. It said $23 postage. Good question about the weight. I don't have a scale at home... Don't want to be reminded ev ery time I gain a pound.

Stunning sans, Manuel! So that's what my baby cylindrica may look like when it grows up?! Nice!

Just saw a bunch or these at my local HD (actually a Newark Delaware HD as I live near the border). Much smaller than yours, with only 4-6 leaves but obviously the same variety and priced at $14.95. Really strange looking plants.
