For those who haven't heard, snake plants (Sansevieria) have been subsumed into Dracaena, which you can learn more about here: • Why Did 'Sansevieria' ...

I feel like in the houseplant community, the sansevieria or dracaena genus is very underrated because they tend to look very simple and generally grow slowly, since they are used to much higher sun exposure than what we can provide them with indoors. But seeing all these exemplars outside where they can absolutely thrive and grow to such sizes makes me hopeful that people will eventually start to appreciate and love them more! They look absolutely incredible! Thank you for this amazing tour Summer and Chad! Thoroughly enjoyed it! ☺

I think it's nice that you are enthusiastic about Sansevieria and that you like this video ☺ I would like to clarify a few things, Dracaena s.l. (including ex Pleomele and ex Sansevieria) is a genus that has been cultivated for over 200 years, Dracaena fragrans, Dracaena reflexa agg., Sansevieria trifasciata, Sansevieria aethiopica are very old houseplants. Sansevieria hyacinthoides (in a broader sense) was described and cultivated as early as the 18th century. ☺ there are also very large, old collections of Sansevieria in Europe - really huge, such as Leipzig and Potsdam, they also have the collection of Dr. Horst Pfennig took over when he liquidated his collection. Prof. Rauh from the Heidelberg Botanical Garden also created a great Sansevieria collection, but unfortunately this is not so well known. And to call Sansevieria and Dracaena underrated hurts my feelings as a person who works and researches with Old World Asparagaceae. 😬😬 But it's nice to see that people's interest in this genus is rekindled again and again 😊

Episode 303 is a wonderful in-depth look at an under-appreciated Genus that thrives in South Florida's outdoor gardens! They're so durable that they've been described as "bullet-proof"! I'm looking forward to learn if such lovely Sansevieria species as disticha ('Lavranos 23154' aka 'Samurai') can be successfully developed by tissue culture for use elsewhere in the world as a new unusual interiorscape plant. - Doc Block

What I love about many of the Fairchild gardens is their subtle organization by family… Asparagaceae! it’s crazy when you realize, “Oh, ok, agaves are basically asparagus,” or “all snake plants and spider plants are asparagus”. What do their unopened inflorescences look like! Asparagus. Same with the Orchidaceae, the orchid family, which is under the “asparagus” order, Asparagales. Even their unopened flower stalks look vaguely reminiscent of asparagus. Especially bigger orchids, like Cymbidiums. When agaves flower, the stalk really looks like a giant asparagus. And asparagus ferns, hence the name, have new shoots that can really resemble the vegetable asparagus. Also included in there is Beaucarnea, Cordyline, Yucca, Dasylirion, Hesperaloe, and even hostas & bluebells! I don’t know how intentional that is at Fairchild, or not, but the plants aren’t seemingly organized geographically or by genus.

I love sansevierias. I have quite a few. They are so lovely and easy to care for. It is so interesting seeing them grow outdoors. Its amazing that south florida is the only area that can grow them outdoors year round. I have had 2 of my plants to flower. I loved this episode. The knowledgeable discussion has renewed my interest in this lovely plant.

i never purchased to many of these because of the spikes but i had friends who loved to torture me by giving me cuttings of all kinds of prickly plants. for a few years i lived on an island in sw florida and through "cruel and often bloody" donations i ended up with a pretty big collections of all things pointy. they really thrived in that environment. i now live in the southern Appalachians and the only prickly thing i brought along was a tree aloe. it's kind of a pain because it's gotten so big(over 8 feet tall and weighs a ton). we drag it outside every spring and have a makeshift growing area with lights in the basement for winter. it was a treat to see fairchilds again, i miss going there. near the end you showed us sinus-simiorum, that one is really cool. thanks summer for another great adventure.

They do really well and i tend to water them a lot in the summer. Snake plants just need fast draining soil and they can handle more water than people expect.

24:45 “which Dracaena hopefully wont do…” in regards to leaf propagating. We know snakeplants, and even agaves, spider plants, and other members of the Asparagaceae family, can root eventually from leaf cuttings. But unbelievably, I’ve gotten a common, everyday _Dracaena marginata_ to root from a leaf! You wouldn’t expect it!

Interesting: here in dryland Brazil we have a "native"plant which looks like Sanseveria cilindrica.Our region doesnot actully have much African influence as on the coast.I wonder if this is an African transplant even so? It is called "planta de cobra" (snake plant) but people believe that it isbecause snakes hide in the clumps!

@michaeldahms7006 Жыл бұрын

It’s a cultivated but naturalized Sansevieria. If it’s a flat leafed one it’s likely Sansevieria trifasciata or even hyacinthoidies. Snake plant is also one of the common names in English too. They have been in cultivation a long time so you’ll find them being grown around the world and they have escaped and become invasive in tropical climates as well.
