My thoughts exactly.  Personally, I sort of like to look of a crowded potful
of sansevierias, jostling for space.  They seem so robust and energetic that
way.  And besides, if I pot them up, they will take up even more room, and my
greenhouse is already impenetrable in the winter when they are all inside.
But I also like 'em to get BIG!  So I am constantly trying to balance my
desire for more growth against my diminishing available space.

But I'll go out and pot up that dwarf one now.  Hadn't really paid much
attention before, but ten years in a 3" pot is quite enough.  It hereby
graduates to a four!

Getting crowded,
Kirk
