There were also good descriptions of it in Dave Grigsby's catalog.  It gets
bigger in cultivation that i thought when I wrote the book, and in a raised
bed in the greenhouse, it crowded out less vigorous plants.  the
underground system is like plumbing. fat horizontal potato-like roots and
stems. It looks best grown in less light than it gets in habitat. ah, but
do we not all?

what else shall I tell you?

PS...many people have subbed to this most precious list and have not yet
introduced themselves; nor have they described their Sansevieria
experiences. this saddens us.
