Hamwild, from what I have heard, those are just stem cuttings that rooted and is now producing new growth (pups). The new growth may be a little different till it also pups and will then be normal Cylindrica. I believe they will have a flatter leaf not cylindrica like. Each leaf can produce several pups so expect a big pot full soon.

I'm sending some S. Cylindrica to Hamwild. Gene

I realized that after I looked up the braided ones. Not quite what I was hoping for, but that is one way to propogate Sans, so not a loss really!

This is what my braided sans did.

Gene, Guess what just got sent to me in the mail.






It has two bent leaves but it should be ok. What a friend I have. He knew I was looking for this plant. He sent me many rare Sans over the years.

I just received this in the mail today from Gene @gasrocks. I'm super excited to pot these bad boys and watch them grow!

I got some Sans. trifasciata Compacta to find homes for.
Some aloes as well, check the Aloe post.

I purchased a braided one this summer and was wondering how they braided them and did a search.
I saw something about not watering the plant for several months so the leaves were pliable enough to braid. I cannot remember the internet site. I should have bookmarked. It described how long the leaves were before they stopped watering.

I will see what the babies look like and see what happens.

The red pot to the right I purchased at HD and it has taken over that pot I have to plant it in a bigger pot that poor thing has grown like a weed. It is growing like a fan and not straight up stems. I know they could not braid this one like the braided one I purchased.

This is the braided one that I purchased and the pups.

Cinta, Love that pink Earth Star shown in your picture. I purchased a small one at Wallyworld and has a lot more green in it. Was yours in full sun all summer? Picture of mine.


Is yours different or was it the same?

I think it is the same. Mine looks like that when I first take it out for the summer after winter darkness. I keep them in total shade they get bleached and are lighter if they get sun. I am always picking them up when Lowes put them on sale for a 1.00.

This is the pink one


This is the red one.

Thanks Cinta, As you can see, I purchased mine at WalMarts. I was happy to pay under $4 for it. What a deal for $1. On line they are very expensive. So I can hope my multiplies like yours or is that all planted together from different sales? I get lucky some times at Lowes but not very often or this year.

That is three different ones I picked up for a dollar and they multiply so I plant them in different combo pots. I put them in the pot and they multiply and I pull them apart and plant them around. I just saw them this week on the sale table for a dollar and I have so many from the multiply that I did not pick it up.

Another fabulous gift from Gene @gasrocks!

S. cylindrica

My Manolin's lost some of it's variegation but I'm still enjoying it. I came home from work yesterday to see the flowers had opened.

Sans are everywhere here, borders and street dividers and often there are just a few stems in a vase of water as decoration. Anyway, I don't know what any of them are but I thought I'd share this one because it is small, it's the only small one I have. I like them as rooster tails.

Jonna. That Sans is Sans. trifasciata hahnii 'Golden Hahnii'. It is one of my favorites. It is a fussy one here in Zone 6 during the winter time when I have to bring them in. There are many in the hahnii (small) group.

Thank you, I've added the name to my notes. I have one that looks much like that but is regular, large size, plus a large one that is more silver and green than yellow and green. I also have the tubes although I haven't been taking care with that one and it doesn't look good. I should take some pics of them used in the dividers on boulevards, they can take over.

Assume planter, rooster tails is a cute name.
