Re: SANSEVIERIA SURVEY

> SANSEVIERIA SURVEY

 I have only start to become very interested with Sans less than two
years ago. What I currently do have are common  varieties that one could
easily find in nursery, department or groceries stores. However,  here is
my $.02 worth.

> 1. The easiest to grow.

   Most Trifasciatas, dwarfs, somalians. I especially find that
Cylindrica, subspicata, and mason's congo are  among the easiest.

> 2. The most difficult to grow.

Experience some difficulty with  'Moongrow' ,when division takes a little
longer for it to recover.

> 3. The quickest growing.

Must be  'subspicata' . These are seemingly just  bursting at the speed
of light.  I also have one unknown variety to me that is also growing as
fast as the former.

 > 4. The slowest growing.

 The 'variegated' forms does seem to grow  slower than the snail. This
may change after I am in luck with a few more.

> 5. The easiest to propagate from leaf cuttings.

I do not find it necessary to propagate from leaf cutting. Division
ensure  results.

> 6. The most difficult to propagate from leaf cuttings.

A  wasting of time!

> 7. The most unusual way you have grown them.

With a few , I have exposed a good portion of the root system in the
shallow container.  Some may find it very  offensive, but I think of it
as
humans in skimpy  swim ware bathing in the moonlight.

> 8. Your favorite soil mix.

 Any  cactus/succulent mix work great.

 > 9. Any plant that requires an unusual soil mix or specialized care.

 Extra  pumice or perlite added to the mix for 'variegated' varieties.

> 10. The most neglect tolerant of all.

Two thumbs up for the  'golden hahni'.

> 11. Any problems or observations you may want to comment on.

Would any of you like to trade 'Sans'?
 I also raise 'Portulacaria Afra' .  Average 1"+ trunk diameter,  well
branched, trimmed and compact. Easy to grow!
