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 MoreI'm back w/ my suspected Bantel's Sensation
Comments (13)Exactly, Stush. I was looking for that plant picture I posted here several months ago of a Futura that had sprouted a stolon/rhizome within the center of the plant. I believe this is what Pirate Girl has. The Hahnii 'Crest' is not Loop's Pride although 'Crest' may have mutated from 'Loop's Pride'. 'Crest has a narrow, very heavily keeled leaf that might be considered brittle. Crest is quite the leafy Hahnii and its leaves appear to all begin at a single central point. Like Loops Pride, the leaves are very dark green and are folded into the shape of a 'V'... at least a "U". This Hahnii is not crested in the botanical sense. Did I not send you one? I can post some pictures of it here if any want to see it. Silver Queen is a BEAUTIFUL trifasciata, I think, as long as the leaves are young. However (darn these howevers!) it behaves just like Moonshine. When the leaves mature, they become a granny apple green with some gray banding. I meant to show the attached picture of a beautiful young 'Silver Queen' earlier, but will post it here now next to a trifasciata 'Compacta' for comparison. You asked how do they grow such nice full pots of plants for under $10. They are grown by the 10s of thousands in places like Costa Rica where labor is cheap and climate is perfect. They sock the water and fertilizer to them and the plants respond....See MoreSansevieria Crane's Black Sport
Comments (4)Yes, the Crane's Black Sport has shorter thick leaves. But it grows straight up like the standard snake plant, but the leaves look more tuilp shaped. Its shorter overall than the standard and lacks chevons/crossbanding in the leaves. It has a thin line of yellow on the edges, but it seems to fade out when the leaf is older. Grows super slow. Yes,I', right next to washington ave.. Dunellen is nice, cute little town. Yes, I grow a few Sansevieria, I have Crane's Black Sport, Hahnii, Silver Hahnii, and Manolin. Manolin is real nice, its white and green stripes that go up and down on the leaves ( vertical). I read its from the Puerto Rico Botanical Garden's plant shop....See MoreLet's compare our Hahnii collections
Comments (52)LOL Yes that bottom right is a new one I got recently, as well as the bottom left. The bottom left is supposed to be a greener form of 'Golden hahni'. My 'Silver Frosts' have produced almost this but maybe unique. The bottom right I love and hope it survives the winter and pups next year. The top one is just one of my 'Streakers' behaving weirdly. Excuse the tree debris in the center I forgot to remove LOL....See MoreStush2049 Pitts. PA, zone 6
