Sansevieria trifasciata 'Golden Hahnii' - Gorgeous!
Comments (21)This is a beautiful and widely available cv. It is however problematical. It needs VERY CONTROLLED WATERING and demands warmth and bright light. It apparently does well in a light garden. Mine from Home Depot rotted away after a single watering. The plant was already wet and in a peat based soil when purchased. I should have let it dry out completely and then repotted it. It rotted even though it had an extensive root system. It requires careful, controlled husbandry and I have learned that once it starts to rot you can't stop it. I have not seen it in either Lowe's, Home Depot or Wal*Mart in Tucson Arizona but it does appear at certain times of the year in Louisville, KY and obviously elsewhere. Read all the comments on this cv. on this Garden Web forum. Michael D. Barclay baropera@gmail.com...See Moreis this Sansevieria Hahnii Trifasciata Gold?
Comments (17)> They want to grow new leaves and keep growing taller and taller but no new pups. So at some time down the road for me, Bang, crown rot. I see how it can happen. The root ball is small, so it needs a small pot. But those leaves are spread out, and so when watering, some water inevitably gets in the center. Unless you bottom-water, which I guess is an idea. Also, when it gets taller, the crown in higher, so it's less likely to get drowned in water - unless rain is what waters it, of course. > why don't i see those in my hd! darn...it's so-o pretty! Petrushka, it was bought in the Poconos, Pennsylvania, not in NYC where we are (you too, I think, right?) I should just get in the habit of buying more than one rare plant whenever I see them at big box stores. Can always return them if nobody wants them. :-/ There were also Moonshine-looking Sansevierias there, but I didn't get one for reasons of limited space. Should have, I guess - for trades and gifts and such....See MorePups look like Futura 'Asahi'
Comments (2)Good eye, Stush. From what I can see, you MIGHT have an unusual Bantels pup that looks much like a trifasciata variety called 'Bogor'. I am attaching a page from Juan Chahinian's book on trifasciatas that should be of interest. Read the 3rd paragraph of the attachment closely... your plant is not 'Bogor', but Chahinian says it is similar to 'Bogor'. Your plant should produce pups that look more like Bantels Sensation. Thanks again for posting!...See Moretrifasciata questions
Comments (7)Hi, sorry to intrude from someone who's so far away here in Indonesia, but I thought this forum is quite interesting. If you're a fan of sans...you should all move to Indonesia...no, only joking he..he.. But honestly, try visit Indonesia once in a while and you'll really discover how many varieties there are so much available here (and mind you...quite cheap, at least for the moment!). I've only been serious about sans for the past year or so and I've got about 30 varieties already. That's not much considering that there are about 130 var (or so I've read from local books here). I tend to use burnt peat/rice husks + compost + rough (large granuled) sand as media cause it keeps it from being too damp. Only water them when the media's pretty dry (being in the tropics, I water them once a week) and repot these beauties once a year. Also, I fertilize only when I remember, say once a year. The thing that I adore about sans is that the young ones have the ability to mutate and appear different to the parent. For me, the easiest sans to grow is S. trifasciata and golden hahnii, the hardest by far is the S. gracilis (gorgeous plant (at least to me), been with me for 3 yrs but no offspring yet) and the twister tsunami (lovely name huh...the leaves are similar to golden hahni but larger and they twist and turn..hence the name). Bought myself a green jade yesterday (for a mere USD 1) and found out this morning that a pup has just broken ground. Ain't that grand (when the mother still looks way too young). I'll try to post some pics once I got my camera going......See MoreStush2049 Pitts. PA, zone 6
