Re: [SANS] Cylindrica

Hi,

Cylindrica is pretty tough. I don't have any worries about leaving
it out on the covered patio all winter, where temps occasionally
get down near freezing.
But I think you might have to provide some shelter from the
elements in Tucson.

>    I'm new to this list, and my interest is in sansevieria cylindrica.  A few years ago, I got a very crowded 10-gallon pot full of the plant.  I planted the biggest chunk of it in a 1/2 barrel with potting soil, and lots of little pieces in other smaller pots.  Then this last spring, I put the contents of 1 pot into the ground in a place that gets daily irrigation, and is covered by a shade-cloth ramada.  The plant has had greater growth there than anywhere else with thick green tusks 1 to 2 feet long.
