Spear Sansevieria

This caught my eye today in "Morrisons" 3 pounds, seemingly practically indestructable.

 

Never seen one platted before.

Direct sunlight, and lots of water, best way to kill them.

 

sansevieria it`s a really underestimate plant , peoples belive that there are just few variety ......never so wrong .
Pam seen the one you got in Thailand reaching 7 feet .



also there are some really rare and amazing variety

 

I had to move a previous plant because it blocked the windows, hope this don`t get to 7 foot ,

 

That's probably Sansevieria pearsonii.
I have seen this in the wild in South Africa. The "spears" / leaves were taller than I was.

Sans are very popular in Japan, and some rare species go for silly prices. I have seen them going for over £150 for a plant.

Must be honest, don't know why they need to be platted.

 

Got it baking in the lounge window, sun on there, dawn til 2 ish

 

I presume in our PC world that GCs don't refer to Sans as 'Mother in Laws Tongues' any more.
