I kept my Whale fins in an open area in my rooftop. It has adopted with the hot sun, rain and mild winter weather. As I live in the Southeast Asia, we don't experience extreme cold weather here. Despite of being in the open area, all my Sansevieria plants are growing nicely and they are healthy too. I watch your videos. Thank you for all the important details. Take care!
I believe yours may be an aubrytiana, which is sometimes nicknamed jaboa. I spotted it right away in the thumbnail. Mine is my favorite sansevieria! Yours is looking so beautiful.
By the way-mine has done very well being propagated with the method of cutting a leaf into multiple smaller lengths and rooting in water. I have multiple babies coming up in just a few months! So I’m planning to remove my leaves that got sunburned this summer (they look exactly like yours) and use them for propagations. In no time at all, the plant will be huge. I can’t wait.
Your Sansevierias are BEAUTIFUL Bill :-D I love Sansevierias, and your variegated one is a stunner, and WOW at the size of your big masoniana its INCREDIBLE, I grow mine under the grow light in our Kitchen, thanks so much for sharing the wonderful update, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
My daughter bought me a one leaf specimen for Christmas last year, and it grew one leaf this year. It is a short outer variegated variety. I have it in a mixed pot with other sansevieria for now, until it gets bigger
my favourite is the sansevieria zeylanica. when i started at university i got a one leaf plant from my mom, it didn’t grow for a long time. one hot summer day it got sun burn and only the lower half of the leaf was left. i started to care more and more and now, 7 years later, it is a full pot with large and tall leaves. new leaves have cool patterns as well
Hello Bill, I've been wishing for a whale fin!🙂 The spring stock I found at our local nursery were quite a disappointment! i visited them frequently, but they were very beat up and the price was simply out of my range. Plus, they were in HUGE 3 gallon pots, which I couldn't manage to lift or move..🤔. I mentioned my wish to a lady in my local plant swap and she was happy to gift me a whale fin that she had dug up in Florida this summer! I repotted it in good cactus mix and she sits on an East facing window for about 6 hours of morning light. She's a very pretty fin!😌 As luck would have it, I was gifted another fin from another lady in the same group, but it's in poor condition. Same cactus mix and window, so I am hopeful she will at least shoot a baby.... I concur with more light for snake plants, it really boosts their growth. Mine love being outside in the spring/summer (zone 6 a/b)
The costs of these have been so high but finally starting to drop. It's wonderful that you were able to get some from a swap! i wish you some speedy growth on your babies :)
About four or five years ago I bought a pot of S. cylindrica at Walmart. When I got it home I found out that the grower had rooted about ten leaves and jammed them altogether in one pot. I separated them out and gave most of them away. It took the ones I kept about three years before they sent up any growth. They are nice plants and I'm glad I took the time and trouble, but they are not fast growing plants.
@@PlantzNThings I kept two. Aside from the original leaf cuttings, one has a single crown with three leaves. The longest leaf is 52 centimeters long. The second plant has two crowns The first crown has two crowns. The first crown has three leaves with the longest leaf being 35 centimeters. the second crown is a sprout with one leaf about 17 centimeters long and a new leaf only about three centimeters. The original cuttings were tip cuttings, about 20 centimeters long. these are still intact, alive, and healthy.
I'd LOVE to have a giant one like this. I bought one of the smaller ones in hopes that maybe it will eventually bulk-up in size. So far it has grown only two leaves, but they do seem to be getting larger, but both the new ones are skinnier than the original leaf. It's near a very bright south facing window so it's getting pretty ideal light conditions. I've had it since summer 2019, so about 1 leaf per year is accurate.
My faves are masoniana and sayuri! I'm envious of how all your masoniana leaves (stalks?) go straight up. Mine splay out in all directions, giving it a huge footprint.
Been wanting one ever since I found out about them! Finally a starting is arriving in the next day or two. Looking at all the comments and some other videos I think I'll start a journal on my newer plants. When I got them, their size, soil type, sun exposure, care, etc.. Heck, might even include sketches of them too! Regardless, the info will be there when I need it. The human memory does strange things as we get older! LOL.
It's possible.. there are some similarities between the 2. when i search images i feel that it lends itself more to the masoniana. but i could be wrong... when i bought it, it didn't have an ID.
It looks like you have a Sansivera’s . I have one. Not sure how to attach photo here. I ordered a Whale Fin, waiting to see how it comes. Supposed to be rooted and not planted. Wish me luck 🤞🏽
You get can miniature leaves (2 inches max height) if you torture the rooted cuttings. My leaves are in low light and the whale fins doesn't get above 2-inches tall.
Loved the update, they look great! I always enjoy your videos! I purchased a variegated whale fin at Vermeer's in Welland, it came planted in coco coir, I am thinking of taking it out and giving it some more appropriate soil. Do you think I can do it now or should I wait till spring? Also, I agree with you, the S. Kirkii is fantastic!
Thank you :) I Love Vermeer's, always a nice selection of plants :) If you can wait until spring i would... but if you feel you'll rot it if you don't change it i'm sure it won't skip a beat if you repot it now. Are you growing any of the Kirkii varieties?
@@PlantzNThings Thanks for your advice! I am not that experienced with the more rarer Sanseverias but I have a Dragon Wing one that I think might be a Kirkii variety, it didn't come labelled unfortunately! I have seen some great ones on line!

Yes its called Jaboa and I have a huge one that im going to bring indoors so it doesnt freeze next month

Nice!!! The variegated ones are stunning... was your new leaf bigger than the first leaf?

Zeylanica is a Pretty one for sure. i seem to always stop and admire some of the patterns on them.

Your masoniana sounds like my cylindrica... my goodness it needs its own 5 foot x 5 foot space... lol ain't nobody got space for that...lol
@@PlantzNThings LOL, I hear you! And mine's in a south-facing window, so I'm like "c'mon, work with me!"

Wish I could squeeze in a masoniana, but I have so Many Orchids indoors (over 100) they are taking up all Prime spaces.
good thing these don't require a "Prime" spot...lol
Yesterday I watched your previous video and today I am watching this update feeling excited thanks for sharing All the best
Thank you so much 🙂
Waaaau.... So enormous.... Gorgeous. I can't get such one in Slovakia. 👍
Hey, I kinda think your whale Fin is a Joboa. I have one an it’s 47in. The leaves look very similar accept the Joboa gets taller.
It's possible.. there are some similarities between the 2. when i search images i feel that it lends itself more to the masoniana. but i could be wrong... when i bought it, it didn't have an ID.
I don't think I agree, Jaboa tend to grow more in a rosette pattern.
My jaboa fans out instead of straight up
Those are beautiful.
Очень люблю сансивиерии, планирую купить в коллекцию мансониану. Мансониану очень красивая. Спасибо за видео
Beautiful, I'd love one.
Wow! Big I just got one it has one leaf so far.
no time better than now to start :) these plants take a while to turn into nice specimen
Спасибо за видео !
Those are beautiful, will you consider selling one of the leaves?
It looks like you have a Sansivera’s . I have one. Not sure how to attach photo here. I ordered a Whale Fin, waiting to see how it comes. Supposed to be rooted and not planted. Wish me luck 🤞🏽
Yay!! I'm sure it will grow Beautifully in your home... the whale fin is one of my favorites 😍
You get can miniature leaves (2 inches max height) if you torture the rooted cuttings. My leaves are in low light and the whale fins doesn't get above 2-inches tall.
interesting! are they just in tiny pots?
@@PlantzNThings 6 inch pot. Short pot
Mine are doing well, but would like it to get larger???? What soil do you use ???? Love your videos!!!! JR
Loved the update, they look great! I always enjoy your videos! I purchased a variegated whale fin at Vermeer's in Welland, it came planted in coco coir, I am thinking of taking it out and giving it some more appropriate soil. Do you think I can do it now or should I wait till spring? Also, I agree with you, the S. Kirkii is fantastic!
Thank you :) I Love Vermeer's, always a nice selection of plants :) If you can wait until spring i would... but if you feel you'll rot it if you don't change it i'm sure it won't skip a beat if you repot it now. Are you growing any of the Kirkii varieties?
@@PlantzNThings Thanks for your advice! I am not that experienced with the more rarer Sanseverias but I have a Dragon Wing one that I think might be a Kirkii variety, it didn't come labelled unfortunately! I have seen some great ones on line!
Did you ever want to separate your whale fin? I like to go to your house and stealing them because is beautiful. Thank you for video
I got mine this year and now it has two pups on it! I am losing my mind!
Wow !!! 2!!! Thats amazing!
Just beautiful. I can't get one in Ireland 😐
My favorite
Those are beautiful
She's a real beauty! 😍
Thank you :)
💚
wow so big sir
is your variegated one going to get as tall as your large plant?
I sure hope so... only time will tell
Did the leaf you cut and propagated last time make it?
It did 😀 it's still in the pot with the main plant.
