Thank you for the ID, I'll watch for a change in any of the pups. I have my guy separate and spread them out every couple months so I've almost got the whole line covered. The soil is very shallow there as well as the dog pee problem and it does not get much direct sun - none in fact in the winter. I think I started with 4 small plants.

I spotted new growth on one of the Sanseviera cylindrica Gene (gasrocks) sent me.

That is awesome, Georgia! Congrats.

Some buds forming on these with yellow edges.

Exciting, Tiffany. Keep those pics coming. So much fun to watch.

Buds forming on plants that have been in the ground for summer vacation:




Potted yesterday to come inside for winter:


Some babies from propagating leaves:

Cool buds, babies and pots. Good growing, Tiffany! I've got to put some of mine in the ground next year. They must like that way better than growing in pots.

I think they could be just as happy & vigorous in a pot with similar conditions, warmth, a little direct light, not drying out, plenty of space for roots/rhizomes to roam.

And I forgot to say, all of my buds are forming on brand-new pups that came up from underground this summer. That would explain why I had so few the past few winters. I'd given most of the new pups away to people on here & on FB because they were shorter, needed less trimming to fit in boxes, and new leaves are so much more pretty that I figured people would rather open packages with those than the older, faded leaves formed in previous years. I'd done that starting around Oct 1 so it wouldn't be too cold when they were being shipped. I didn't have time to get into giving away the excess this year because I'm working full time now.

Tiff, that's an interesting piece of info. about the buds. for sharing that tidbit.

Last weekend it was time to pot up these plants and I didn't have a wide, shallow pot like I wanted. I was cleaning up a little in the kitchen while thinking about potting plants and noticed this pan was shedding its' non-stick coating and was no longer suitable for food. I was heading toward the dumpster with it and DH said why don't I poke some holes and you can put a plant in it?

Ends up being the perfect pot for these, only about 3" deep!





Sun glinting on the sticky sap coming from these buds.

Good idea. for DH for his suggestion and thanks for sharing the idea with us.

Well I thought I'd seen it all, straw flowers glued onto cacti, heathers sprayed with paint, amaryllis bulbs encased in wax, but this has to take the cake. What an abomination!

That is horrible. I can't see how those will sell at all, but I suppose someone will think they're pretty.

Unfortunately, they most likely will sell, as many customers are not informative about these painted plants. They will just think they'll make pretty (glitzy) gifts or decoration. At least that's what the sellers are counting on. They don't care about the customer, just the $$ they spend.

Poor plants Those sprayed on stuff just defaces the natural beauty of the plant.

Please complain to management. Gene

The good news is, they are just stem cuttings and will root and produce new plants. In about a years time, there will be many sprouts coming up from the bases. The bad news is most people will throw them away after they start to wilt. Most will over water them. Price is way too high. In another month or two, should find them on the clearance table.
