Mine are dying...might be root rot. My plan was this: To take it out the pot and look at the roots and clean out the pot Then fresh soil. I never added fertilizer or plant food so it might be a combo of the nutrients and root rot. Also I never added any stones/gravel... What do you think?

I have just always tried to be careful not to overwater them. My “old lady” has gotten too tall for the kitchen counter now so she’s moved to the living room. I need to make sure she’ll get enough light and won’t be in the draft from the heater vent in the winter.

When she was talking about over watering I sighed and looked at my snake plant. I've had her for two years and she's about 1/4 of her original size, mostly due to rot. I've gotten it down now though, she seems a lot happier and is simultaneously pushing out three new stocks! Can't wait for her to be full again. I named her Jane Fonda after the movie Monster in Law 🤭

I too was an over and sometimes under waterer. I bought a moisture probe from Kmart-yeah, I’ve had it awhile-and it has saved a lot of plants lives. Look into one. They’re around under $20 and return the price in saved plants.

I literally wrestled a huge Sansevieria (Dracaena) Zeylanica from my dantist's office. They had 3 huge tightly stuffed plants and all were drastically overwatered. They gave me one. When I took it out of the pot - what I saw in that liquid dirt (I cannot even call it soil) - I don't even want to describe. Anyway - I cleaned the roots, cut the damaged ones, dried them a bit and repotted in 3 different pots with a proper soil mixture. It is such a delight to see now 3 nice plants on my staircase... To me - it is like saving kittens...💚🐈‍⬛💚

I had a snake plant planted in a plastic container with very little drain holes and with a regular potting mix with extra pieces of bark. It survived for about 3 months but I just had to amend the soil. I added sand to the soil and drilled more holes on the pot. But, even thought it wasn’t in the best conditions, it’s still grew a little bit because it was outside.

In fact, when I look look across the board between the leaf shapes and variegation of the snake plants and dragon trees, my eye actually gets it.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture did research and development of Sansevieria as a fiber source during and after WW2 in south Florida. Fiber was a possible national security concern as much of the natural fiber used in the U.S. at that time was imported. Imports could be curtailed during wartime. Due to the post war advent of synthetic fibers , the program was scrapped . Some of the species and varieties utilized in the program have entered into the nursery trade’s propagation and hybridization efforts.

Do you recall which species they were studying? Would be marvelous to find those studies. :)

@Nhoj31neirbo47 3 жыл бұрын

@@summerrayneoakes - Many of the plants used were not formally described species and were simply assigned reference numbers . I did find some literature stating that the following species were evaluated for fiber production.....Sansevieria guineensis, S. ehrenbergii, S. cylindrica, S. longiflora, S. thysiflora aka S. hyacinthoides, S. trifasciata, S. trifasciata ‘Laurentii’. The last two being found the most promising. ~ Sites I located were; journals.flvc.org, (title search) Sansevieria in Florida- Past and Present. This explains that the research was conducted by the USDA and researchers from the University of Florida Everglades Experiment Station, at locations in Boynton and Indiantown, Fl.. ~ specialcollections.nal.usda.gov list the titles of many reports on Sansevieria research but doesn’t seem to have the reports themselves digitalized. For example, 300-ef Sansevieria- Florida Project 1942 - 1945. ~ Research was also conducted in Hawaii. I know that some of the remnant plants at research plots in Hawaii were later collected and introduced into the ornamental trade. ~ I could email you some of the more interesting stuff that I found, but I’m not sure where to send it.
