3 Hahnis on my office windowsill this winter. 'Silver frost', 'jade dwarf marginated' and 'streaker'

    Very nice! Do you switch out plants at your office? Did you ever put your ginormous Siam Silver in a pot?

  • 10 years ago

    akrrm the plants on my office window stay there pretty much full time. I do have some on the fringes of the window with less light that go home and outside over the summer. My 'Coppertone' is there now.....no place for it. It should get enough light to survive until spring when it can be put out again. That Siam Silver was too big and kind of ugly in that bucket. I took a few nice pups off it and potted them up and left the rest out.

    Very Nice!

    to bad about the Siam Silver.

    Chris, I am impressed with the Hi yellow variegated. Nice.

    They are beautiful. I like the Silver Frost. I'm wondering if the plant I bought as Silver Star is actually that. I really like the Jade Dwarf Marginata too.

    Well, that was answered in another thread - not Silver Frost. I really like these hahniis - they look not so much like bird nests to me but baby bird beaks upturned to the mama bird for feeding - also remind me of my dog's ears (I have a hairless Xoloitcuintli so his ears are leathery, not quite as pointy LOL).

    Beautiful, but I have a question. Were they always so crowded, or did they really reproduce that much?

  • 10 years ago

    Yeah they multiply hellkitchenguy Manuel! Each started as a single!!

    Impressive

    Very nice plants. I'm curious, do you care for your Hahniis differently than other Sans? I understand they can be a bit more picky in their care. I've only barely tried them for that reason. I'm afraid I'll kill them over winter if I water them at all.

    Other than Golden Hahni, which seems to need warmth and good light, I really have not had problems with these at all. They are distributed in three areas......a bright sunny but cool kitchen window. These I always water in the morning of a sunny day, and they get semi-regular watering usually on a weekend every week or sometimes two week. Ones on my office window get some morning sun and I probably water them once a week or so. A few are under a fluorescent light in a warmer (75 degrees) area. They get watered twice a week generally as they dry quickly. The greener hahnis are easy and even 'Silver Frost' which is supposed to be more sensitive I really have not had problems.

    Well that sucks. I'm pretty sure my house is too cold for them. They sure are nice looking.

  • 10 years ago

    Contrary, other than Golden hahniI think you should be fine with most hahni cultivars. My kitchen widow and office window are pretty cold, gets into low 50s occasionally and they are fine!! Kitchen window may be even colder at night I am in NJ and it is one of those "garden windows" that stick out.

    Thanks! I just don't want Mike's Crested Hahnii to die. I'm sort of babysitting it. It is such an unusual plant.

  • 10 years ago

    Neat looking hahni!! Wow that pot is full!!

  • 10 years ago

    Yup, It's breaking through in places too. I hope it can wait until spring for a much needed separation and potting up.

    mentha my office windowsill. I have a good office but inside ugly old trailers. Thin single pain windows and cold outside, but these Hahnis and other plants do well.

  • 10 years ago

    Very nice. Is that a variegated monstera I see? *swoon* That's only my short list of when I win the lottery plants. Is that toothy variegate an aloe? And your TC is still blooming? wow. I think I would like to work in your office.

    I know about old trailers. Our mobile home has those crank windows that have about 2-4 thin glass panes and cracks in between. The person who lived here before us had a toddler so decided to take all the cranks AND screw the windows shut so we have no ventilation beside the A/C.

    Mentha...Why pay for a variegated Monstera when you can trade for one....hint hint.......at least when the weather gets better. That is one of my favorite plants. The original I got in a trade had only a tiniest small hint of white on every other leaf or so. I kept letting it grow, then taking cuttings, until some new growth finally grew out of the white variegated part....and then kept improving until I got what I wanted. It is unstable and cuttings are sometimes not as variegated but much better. The Aloe is Aloe saponaria variegated, an easy Aloe to grow too.

  • 10 years ago

    Oh my lol. I was going to comment on the aloe looking like Irish Spring soap used to. I think the name is fitting. I'll definitely take you up on that trade. I have wanted one for years but have never justified the price. How is your pothos doing?

  • 10 years ago

    Just beautiful. For me though the silver frost has been the one that is most finicky. But it hasn't deterred me!

    Woodnative, do you have any Siam Silver you're willing to part with for postage? twhite876@yahoo.com


  • 10 years ago

    Katrina check with me later this summer. My SS was HUGE and growing in a large bucket. Last fall I took a few nice pieces but the rest ended up freezing outside. It is a nice cultivar.

  • 10 years ago

    Woodnative, will do. Thanks!
