Sansevieria Newbie needing help identifying two species.
Comments (8)Seems like a good idea but it's from the central growing section and with or without a bloom stock, the center is no longer a growing point. Some times the central area rots due to water in the crown and the same thing happens to the whole plant. If strong enough, it still produces pups all around it. This method is used by growers to produce more plants thru pupping. I think they use a soldering gun to kill the central growing point. Same with euphorbia to induce branching....See MoreNew sansevieria Dawei
Comments (24)Hey Stush, I've seen the purple sheath on Sulcata too. Yes, dawei only produces 2 or 3 leaves per plant. So not exactly a pretty rosette but size and width of leaves are impressive, and it's very uncommon. Popmama, personally I think Siam Silver and Sayuri are just renamings of Manolyn. I've never grown Sayuri so I'm reluctant to say that but it looks exactly like Manolyn to me. The only difference between Manolyn and Siam Silver was the latter was touted as rust-free. I have it from two different sources and it gets rust just as bad as Manolyn, so I've concluded that some seller renamed Manolyn to sell it as something new. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Sayuri is supposed to be from Aubrytiana, which is hard to believe since it's identical to Manolyn, which is a metallica variety. I'd sure like someone to root a leaf cutting of Sayuri and see what comes up. I'm betting on metallica, not Aubrytiana. And that would settle the mystery....See MoreWhat mix/media do you use to start sansevieria (snake plant) cuttings?
Comments (23)I am far from an expert on this topic, but I did succeed on my first try. I found a flattened piece of sans on the driveway at a nursery. I stuck it into Walmart potting soil, staked it up, and watered it when the soil felt warm about one knuckle down. After about a year the leaf became turgid mostly with one bend in the middle. I kept it staked and, months later, a pup sprouted followed by many other sprouts. I left it in the same 6-inch pot longer than I needed to as the sprouts matured. Soon enough I removed the stake I used to prop the limp original leaf and simply leaned it against one of the newer leaves. About a year ago I repotted into a 10-inch pot and placed it in the living room. Today the original leaf stands completely on its own. Since it is in the larger pot and more shady location, the new leaves grow to about 24 inches tall. At this point it is surviving mostly on neglect. We water it when we think about it....See MoreWhat (Sub-) Species of Sansevieria Trifasciata is This Beauty?
Comments (3)Very bright and very clean looking. I think they are regular San. trifasciata. Green house grown under ideal conditions. Tiffany grew some like that in your outside garden thru the summer months then had to dig them up and house them for fall. Just took some pictures of some of mine; San. tri. 'Mein Liebling'; San. tri. 'Austrian Black'; Sans. hyacinthoides Siam Silver...See MoreBasia K
