I had a snake plant on my office desk for 2 years. This thing was pretty ridiculous. It was close to 48" but the pot was tiny at 5". Long, slender leaves I repotted it in a slightly larger pot, but I had to tie it to keep it from falling over until the new roots took hold. I got promoted and left it there. I should have taken a cutting of it. People would come in the office and stare at it lol.

A 4 feet plant is gold! New people in the office will definitely enjoy that plant. I know it takes time to get it to grow that high. Looks like it loved your plant care 😀

I had no idea about the correlation between depth of the pot and the width of the plants . 😯

Yes, it is very interesting. I wonder what other people's are experiencing since there are many variables when growing plants indoors.

Great video. I love the shout out to both gardening upbeat and planterina, two of my favorite plant channels. Maybe that's why I got this recommendation. I've got a couple of moonshines that really need some attention. I hope they will come to be as beautiful and tall as yours.

Yes, they make great content about plants :D Re-positioning your Moonshines to a brighter spot might help. Hope it grows beautifully!

Joe, we are in middle of BC with lots of snow and under it lies green stuff that looks like your lawn. Not grass but a hardy and beautiful under foot. Great video on repotting sansevieria

Oh wow! It's getting really hot here in Virginia. Just started to run my AC unit a few days ago. Also, all the perennial plants in my outdoor garden are speeding up growth. It really feels like Summer is around the corner. Thanks for watching Maureen!

🥰Thank you for sharing your tip on using a deeper pot for the snake plant to encourage it to grow taller. 🪴 Also, I like the ingredients that you’ve used for a sub strait medium. That appears to be an excellent recipe!

Joe I think your are mixing up Moonshine they are wide leaf trifasciata and grows max 2 ft. The longer thin one might be Silver Queen which is a long leaf trifa not neccesary wide but long grow 3 ft or more

Thanks for your thought. Actually that was my very first question that I had myself at the beginning. I have the physical book 'The Sansevieria trifasciata Varieties' by Juan Chahinian, and according to this book, it says 'Moonshine' grows up to 30 cm (12 in.) which is kind of short like you mentioned. Based on the book, I figured the only way to distinguish between 'Moonshine' and 'Silver Queen' is to propagate by leaf cuttings. 'Silver Queen' propagates true from leaves and 'Moonshine' does not. So, to find out, I did propagate my plant by leaf cuttings, and it reverted. And as shown in my video, the smallest plant has wide leaves which is about 4 inches wide. Thus, I concluded my plant is 'Moonshine' based on these facts. I think the book wrongly stated that 'Moonshine' grows short. By any chance, did you try growing Moonshine in a big & deep pot like mine? My experience tells me that the height depends on the pot size. And also placing in a west-facing window indoors might make a difference too. But I would love to learn if there is any additional way to distinguish between the two cultivars. Color & inflorescence are identical according to the book.

Or maybe I have both? I guess the only way to find out is to propagate the tall ones by leaf cuttings. This will be fun.

@@SnakePlantCollector The pot size only matters if the cultivar is really long leaf for you to reach 3ft to 5ft you need the deep or very big pot. However, if the cultivat is short leaf(hahnii type or dwarf) or Future type(compact wide leaves, there is a limit to their leaf growth. Short leaf is about 6 inches no longer. Wide leaf or compact which moonshines belong to is limited to 2ft. FULL size or long leafs grow to a more than 2ft up to 5ft

Yes, I agree. I thought I only had one type and not both 'Moonshine' and 'Silver Queen'. When the plants were gifted to me in 2018, they were baby pups and I didn't get the variety names from the original owner. They looked identical at that time, so I thought they were both 'Moonshine'. But now I think I have both type. Yesterday, I repotted & started leaf cutting propagation of the tall one that you said it is 'Silver Queen'. Let's see how this goes.

It could probably be because of lack of light. Hope it recovers! Thanks for watching.

The plant hasn’t root bound yet, why you repot it?

To promote a little more growth with fresh soil. The plant was in that pot for like 4 years. Since it was growing in garden soil, I wanted to provide more nutrients before it shows any sign of nutrient deficiency.

I believe fertilizer will help the plant from time to time and I think the outcome of moving Snake Plants outdoors will significantly depend on the environment. Some of my Snake Plants like to be outdoors during summer.
