Re: Growing Sans Collection
We'll see, I think it will be OK. My S. arborescence had a lower leaf yellow up pretty good a few weeks back, so I changed the angle a bit, and it greened back up -- just like a normal plant!

Re: Growing Sans Collection
So this:
has now transformed into this, after I just took a razor blade to the ugly old leaves. It would look even better had it not burnt a bit, but I am not complaining!
And now my S. pinguicula is also getting busy. Bad news Steph, looks like you're a grandma!

Re: Growing Sans Collection
They grow up so fast! So happy this pupped for you so quickly. Must be liking it's new digs. Can't wait to see how it grows! I have no concept of how quickly the offsets themselves grow once formed.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Uh oh, seems I spoke too soon. There are TWO offsets coming up!
And here is an updated S. cf arborescens shot.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
I thought we were apprised that the S. arborescens is actually S. Lavranos 23251... (on the sun exposure thread)
Congrats on the 2 baby Pings.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Hence the "cf". If you recall, I had mentioned quite a while ago that I didn't believe it was actually S. arborescens. I believe the technical translation of cf = "well sorta kinda maybe, but sorta pseudo quasi".

Re: Growing Sans Collection
19 weeks growth on this offset. Wow.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Nice! And in characteristic fashion, the energy the original rosette put into growing the underground rhizome, has now resulted in the next growth as a faster growing and likely to become larger offshoot than the original.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
The Ping is coming along. One offset, now fully stilted, has leapt dramatically ahead of the other.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Dramatically is right. This must be so fun to watch. I've been keeping myself entertained with my first sans' root growth. This one has also taken off in leaf growth as well, but in the photos below you can see the two brand new roots that have formed since I got it. No signs of a pup yet but I have my fingers crossed for spring!

Re: Growing Sans Collection
That is awesome! What's that crazy thing doing? Isn't the air getting a little thin up there?

Re: Growing Sans Collection
That's awesome! I like those new roots. I think my S. pinguicula may have been damaged by the last cold snap. It's inside, but perhaps not warm enough for its liking. It looked fine at first, but now shows discoloration in some spots. On the other hand, my S. suffruticosa types are all doing well in the same sunroom with one actively growing a new stolon and another still forming its bloom stalk.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Yellow/pale spots? One of mine was left outside when it was 40s-50s overnight and developed those. Scary that it can happen insideAzuleja wrote:That's awesome! I like those new roots.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Yes, yellow pale spots I knew keeping it in my unheated sunroom was a test but I was hoping it would fare better. I've seen minor discolorations heal on aloes and agaves so I'm just watching and waiting.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Mine are outside all winter long. I'll slide 'em into a heated outdoor closet when temps threaten to go sub-freezing, but other than that they're on their own.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
So what began (in a sense) as an ugly neglected rat of a Sans has now grown into this.Gee.S wrote:This Sansevieria elliptica 'Horwood' (no idea if that is actually accepted taxon) was near dead/dormant for three years when I gave it some badly needed attention. A few months later, it rewarded me with beautiful new twin leaves. As you can see, one of the leaves burnt a bit. I was keeping a close eye on it, but.... If you look closely, you'll see that some of the burn is partially healed, and in comparing to the other leaf, you'll note that both continued with an identical growth rate, but the clean leaf is now sprouting another new leaf, while the other is not. Dunno what all that means really, I just thought it was interesting.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Nice! What I like about these forms is that the rosettes have limited # of leaves, and keep adding new limited # leaf rosettes (1-2), so in this way, some nasty damage is eventually drowned out and surrounded by nice clean leaves.

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Think I'll up-pot that guy in spring. The little bit of damage is sunburn. I have it in a nice shady spot on the table, then the sun changes angle, and ooops...

Re: Growing Sans Collection
Hi there Gee. Would love to hear/see updates on your sans collection. Still got the bug?
