Sport Parva albomarginata? Woohoo!
Comments (12)That would be amazing if you have the first white edged S. parva (sounds like Stush believes you do)! Here's a picture of the Chlorophytum pup. Not very big by any standards, I just placed it in water last week (I noticed the supporting "branch" was broken and the poor thing was starting to get limp). It has since perked up in water and is already sprouting a number of roots. I can take another picture down the road for you once it gets enough size to it. I've lost track of how many babies are attached together, but two are variegated while the others remains green. Who knows, maybe the variegation will disappear over time (although every leaf produced thus far has the stripe) or maybe the variegation will appear on the all green ones eventually (that's doubtful though). Thus far... it's not all that exciting to look at, I believe once it gets bigger I'll be more excited lol. Here's mama. She has more babies than the picture shows. She's apparently happy! Thanks for looking and for sharing your Sans sport. Do you plan on removing it eventually? As Stush mentioned, I'd be interesting to see what its pups look like. That'd be something if they revert back to the way "Grandma" looks or if you end up with some off the wall stripes. Planto...See Moremy no ID variegated Sans.
Comments (12)Hi & thanks, I really like green/white variegation, in lots of other plants too (Hoyas, Polyscias/Aralias). Hey, Stush, I'm open to suggestions/advice. I may not take the advice or agree, but I try to be open to hearing it. It happens I gave it a pretty well lit spot so I could keep a close eye on it while it settled in. We'll never know the ID. Forget what I paid, couple buck $4 maybe at my local Indoor Gardening Society (where I'm the resident Sans. person.), their Plant Sale Table. The instant I saw it I grabbed it, much before anyone else got a chance to see it. Turns out the person who gave it said he got it from the yard of a friend's home in Puerto Rico. Shall I call it Sans. Puerto Ricenses? I'll be curious to see when it pups if the pups'll be variegated or not?...See MoreS. parva variegated
Comments (34)I'm enjoying everyones enthusiasm over parva, and Mentha's comment re Hahnii 'crested'. Mentha, that H. 'Crested' has very brittle leaves including the point of attachment to the stem. They snap off easily. Fortunately, they also root easily. A nice planting mix is just fine. Planted leafs come true. I'm counting on you to spread that little cutie around next summer as the pot is full of pups and needs thinning. Asprin? Really?...See MoreJust a photo of a couple young Sans.
Comments (5)Stush- I have an all-green masoniana that would probably beat that. I don't know that would be fair, however, as masoniana is naturally big! Maybe we should limit that contest to trifasciata types. Elichka- the mix is a bit of this and a bit of that.........Commercail cactus mix, course sand, a bit of garden soil, some perlite, a little bone meal, a bit of...........See MoreKaren S. (7b, NYC)
