Oh, and here are the two pups from the first picture. You're looking at part of my "nursery" because that's where all the babies go to make roots and get ready to become big, strong plants!

Note, this picture is actually upside down. I'm seeing a trend here, I think.

Welcome and good rescues! If you love sans there are a few here that will help with your addiction lol! What state are you in? Do you have other kinds of plant too you like and nay wish to trade?

How long does it take for a pup to come to the size of the adult you took it from?

I had a whole thing typed out....I'll just try to do pictures....*grumble* I am going to post this then add more as edits so I don't lose the whole thing again if someone posts...wonky website....)

Haworthia species (or possibly a hybrid, as yet unidentified, but they are all the same plant)

these are the tiny babies that were being squeezed out by the big rosettes, but they have roots so I potted them up. I also have another four flat like this filled with them. I actually have so much of this plant still in the big pot....I've got lots of these!

Okay, I'm having a LOT of issues with the site and it deleting things so I'll make a new post for the aloes, regular aloe barbadensis.

I'd rather not ship the ones bigger than these (not pictured) because the leaves I'm afraid will break.

Here are the peperomias I have available, most are just rooted leaves, but I could take stem cuttings from the big plant if someone requested.

I could also send a stem cutting of the variegated one, my mother plant is getting a bit big.

The "russo" peperomias in the second picture, I also have some of those rooted both leaves and stems.

Baby rooted and growing spider plants.

Mexican Mint (NOT Cuban oregano, but this one is an edible/herb and it's quite delicious and refreshing)

Lots of pregnant onions

I also have LOTS of P. Scandens (that's the name I know....what of it?)

And thus type of ivy (Hedera helix "katie" or something)

I know it looks kind of pitiful right now, but I just got it and then left it in the box for like a week...or maybe two....but it's H. Helix so it'll be just fine, it's already sprouting new growth even from the old wood.

Pink flowering kalanchoe. The pink you see is where I rooted a flower spike in the dirt, it put out another half-@ flower! Tough things for sure. You can have the whole plant or a cutting (preferably if you live in Oklahoma)! Roots way easy.

I also have some bromeliad pups (rooted and unrooted i think). Here are the two mother plants (they each have about 3 or so new pups growing after i harvested 5 from one and 4 from the other.

.

As you can tell, they aren't the same species and I couldn't tell ya which pups are which anymore since they are all just green...anyway, very easy to care for.

Oh and C. Muscosa. Anyone can have this even without a trade. Either that or I'm taking it back to Walmart to trade for a plant that wants to live.

<Rose Beyaz: How long does it take for a pup to come to the size of the adult you took it from?>

Depends a lot on the care. If it sits in a dark corner being neglected, it may take it a very long time to make it to that size. They are not especially known for being fast growers, but if they have adequate light, heat and water....they do pretty good for the non-fuss-n-muss Type horticulturist. Because all of a sudden, one day you see they've pupped all on their own and it's a very proud parent moment. But if you want something that will grow and give you lots of new growth to admire, I recommend an aroid.

Why do you feel the need to cut the young pups off the main plant? They grow larger and nicer than the main. If you want to, let them grow out a year and see how much nicer they develop. When a young pup is cut off too soon, it stays smaller and never develops as nice as it should have been. You have hit gold with your newly found Sans. Depends how tall they get to give a name. They are some of the newer types coming out.

Stush

your Haworthia might be H. retusa. see this site:
http://succulent-plant.com/families/aloaceae/haworthia.html

Very nice collection of plants! Great $2 find!!! Top Sans is Sansevieria trifasciata futura "Gold Flame" Not sure what the other one is till it get bigger (as Stush said)
Fred

Oh em gee, sans. What was I thinking clicking your link. I like haworthias *almost* as much as I like sans. Maybe I like them more than sansevieria?

You are probably right about species, either that one of the one nearer to the top that say "probably not a true species, probably a hybrid of retusa and some other long name" (not a direct quote there but whatevs)

This all because my husband called my philodendron (the love of my life, the plant not the man) "just some boring plant" so I had to get something interesting to put in there with it so it's not so boring. Pilea "silver tree" is what I brought home. It's not really *doing* much, but it's interesting looking. My P. heredaceum (?) however is putting out new vines and leaves almost daily. My husband has no idea what *interesting* really means when it comes to plants! He seems to "get it" with the Monstera though...I think because of the name...and how MASSIVE they are. But really the big Monstera is just a bunch of long petioles and leaves, my P. scandens creates an easily singled effect.

Here's one of my P. scandens. About a month or two ago, I cut back my original plant that I've had since the beginningof 2009. I do It every year and get about 10-15 feet of beautiful vines. This one had started to take root in the aquarium stand it's in (I have it living in a sump of an empty 90 gallon fish tank with little CFLs down there. I would really love to see it get to its mature size/state but I think I'd have to take all but one vine out of there and even then it may not be enough....I'd have to refrain from my annual cutting back.

The flash does weird things to it. In a couple weeks, this thing is probably going to be quite unruly.

And here's a ppicture of my least difficult plants, the ones that don't give me any trouble and I barely ever have to pay attention to them. Mostly Fittonia (which is a surprise, I'd always stayed away from them in the past because people said they were difficult. And also another type of Pilea (the bright green stuff that's super cool to look at), which I really love, I actually have quite a few of those scattered throughout the house. Not the burgundy Pilea, that's more of an experiment...I still think silver tree is my favorite. I do have to pinch the Fittonias quite a bit, the other half of this planter that's pictured below has a pink one that's laid itself along the ground and basically taken over the whole side.

It didn't upload some pictures of things I was talking about....but I CBA.

@Stush:

To answer your question WHY?

For SCIENCE! of course! When I bought it, I wanted to plant the main one in an orchid pot to see how it works....note to self, next time remember to line the side holes with landscape fabric....also, the big one is in a rather boring, lightless corner and the babies deserve light...and heat...and...water. lol. Plus, I love having pups grow and pup themselves. They are in the nursery tent with much more light than the adult plant is getting. But it makes a striking display.

I've got the second type (tthe first kind I bought, the one in with the dracaena) on a heat mat and I've been trying to water it regularly so they can get their roots settled and stop pouting. I can't believe they were basically just two large pups rubber banded together. No wonder so many sans suffer sudden death for no explainable reason!

Sorry for posting twice....I haven't had my coffee yet.....and who wants to read a whole book in one post anyway. I'll make mine more like a mini series with more episodes that don't last as long for our shortened-by-technology attention spans.

Buh-duh-bup-tss.

*crickets*

I haven't had my coffee yet and probably won't have it for another few hours! Ack!

I'm mostly interested in "neat" looking or "rare" types. Even the wild types (which are some of my favorite sans). I used to have a beautiful tall green beautiful plant (yes, beautiful twice because it was THAT nice) but my cats decided to use it as a litter box one too many times and now it's a goner (got rid of it).

I really like the broad leaved varieties but I've never been able to find them available anywhere around here.

I don't need fancy variegates. I've always been a no-make-up kind of girl anyway. ^.^

Outdoor plants..I have vegetables. The caterpillars love them lol. I have an aloe and a Madagascar palm out front but most of my plants live inside where I can water them easily. The heat here is so bad in the summer. Oh, I also have what I've been calling a "ministera" which is Monstera adnansonii that is going crazy outside as long as it's watered just about every day. I also have one of these plants inside the house. (*blush*) And two Monstera deliciosa. What can I say, I'm a sucker for big aroids. And I can't bring myself to sell them.

That's amazing! Is that one of yours?

See...I think that's way more interesting than the variegates. I can't keep my eyes off it. Is sans envy a thing?

Do you have any pictures of the plant from different angles?

Edit: how old is that plant?

Anyone ever pot a dracaena with sans?

Yes mine. S masoniana. I got it from joe DeRosa several years ago as a tiny plant. At my work I will get more pics later. Probably can divide a piece for you.

Oh yes, thank you.

Laticauda,

Did you ever get a cylindrica?

No I did not, but I am not complaining, I have received lots of really awesome plants from people here...things I didn't even know existed which is always cool :)

I have a full pot of cylindrica that needs to be divided. I could send you some if you like.

Send me a pm, and let me know which ones you have already. Barb

Not sure how well you can see it. It's been a month and some days since that first picture.

It looks like it started completely over from a budding pup, doesn't it?

Fred? Russ? Chris? BARB? ANYBODY?

I'm just being too impatient. I'm just worried that how I have it positioned with the light is going to somehow mess it up!

It looks fine to me.

I should just be thankful for the growth and shut my mouth lol.

Patience my friend patience

how are the Gold Flame pups doing?

Looking pretty much the same, I think their mix is too lean. And I'm not watering enough to conpensate. I'm so afraid to overwater the babies.

I'll try to get some pics of all three.

but I DID water them all last night lol.

what are you using gritty mix?

maybe a plastic pot would work better for you than terracotta

Raised bed soil mender, two sizes of chicken grit and perlite. Maybe some bark fines compost.

what is raised bed soil mender?

http://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/3402ee320595f392_8-0680/home-design.jpg

they are in plastic. The pups in the Terra cotta with the draecena warneckii are probably an upright grower, as opposed to the weird Corona that mine is doing.

Well, looking at that picture....I guess they have gotten bigger lol by a noticeable amount.

oh, should have reviewed the thread, LOL!

My bad, I had to repot them since then. But they have grown quite a bit.

Bah, hopefully this heals.

Man! Why doesn't it save the photos to my phone when I take them using the houzz mobile feature?

well, one of the leaves broke and I bandaged it, hopefully it heals....or puts out a pup there or something lol.

I am frustrate! I think the picture is in the "laticauda you asked" thread.

Wow, those pups have grown like crazy since I posted this. Well, the big one has gotten like 5 or 6 times bigger, the little one is not doing as well but that's just because it's not getting water as often as I probably should but I'd rather slow growth than fast rot, I always say. Actually, I think that may be the first titime I've said that but I lIke it, think I'll keep it!
