Hi Shine,

I'm a friend of PG & know her Aqua Sans well; I have to say your hydro grown Sans looks great. I don't know the ID but that's fascinating the 2 different shaped leaves together in the same rosette. Looks good & healthy.

The 3rd one is also cool, I have no experience w/ Hydrogel, but maybe an ID for that one. It reminds me of S Pinguicula, expecially those spear pointed tips (right Jeff, are you out there?). Handsome plant too.

Others will come along w/ suggested IDs, pls. keep us posted.

Lena

If I remember right PG's sans is in hydroton LECA which are clay pellets, they would probably hold the plant up better than the hydrogel. The last one does look like a ping, but there is also S. Lavranos of different collection numbers and Powellii or any number of juvenile forms of different sans. #1 reminds me of a blue kirkii. I'm probably wrong on both accounts though.

#2 looks like cylindrica. Mine looks like that.

If you do a search for Sansevieria joboa it looks like it could be #1.

Hi Lena,

Do you have aqua sans as well? Please say Thank you to PG, her aqua sans is very inspiring and looking at hers and her instruction, I tried my own aqua sans. I did it with leaf cutting of my dying Jade Dwarf Marginata. I love Jade Dwarf Marginata, but I killed all of mine for the past 2 years... So I rooted the leaf and got 2 Aqua Jade Dwarf. I had separated them and they are doing great in each pot (still aqua sans). I'll post their pics next time. Love their deep dark green leaves!

The 2 different leaves sans really puzzled me.

For the 3rd one, I check the pinguicula pics in google, but they are not the same from mine...

Thank you so much for your help Lena! :)

I'll post an update if it will make it and rooted or die rotting... Keeping my finger crossed that it'll root soon...

Hi Mentha,

Yes, PG's Agua Sans are in LECA, It is very hard for me to find it here. I made a mistake, because when I saw pics of plants using hydrogel, they look the can hold up the plants. After I bought it, I found out they are too slippery to be able to hold up a plant, maybe a will have no problem for rosette Sans, but certainly not upright trifasciata. So for people who want to use hydrogel for Sans, keep this in mind. And I also find that when using pure hydrogels, the top/upper part dry and shrink faster than the bottom part. I have to spray it every 2 days. It is not that convenient.

Because of that, I improvised using lava rocks to keep the plant steady and see if covered with something, will the top part of the hydrogels dry and shrink as fast as before. Hopefully not, I'll keep update about it. :)

Hi Akrrm,

I search S. Jaboa, and I find it very similar to #1. Thank you!!! I think I'm going to stick to S. Jaboa name unless someone here say it is another Sans. :)

Did your S. Cylindrica have 2 type of leaves as well like mine?

I saw from the pics in the search engine Cylindrica have upright kind of leaves like http://roslunnuu-dim.com.ua/fileadmin/user_upload/foto_wm/wm_Sansevieria-Cylindrica-Straight-11+1404167795.png

Here are my other Sans

I think it is Loop's Pride. But please correct me if I'm wrong. This is my fav Sans, love its dark deep green leaves color. I had 2, this one planted in hydrogels and lava rocks on top to make it steady, and another one planted in lava rocks.

My Sansevieria · More Info

Just only a week in my house. S. Moonshine Brazilian / S. Brazilian Moonshine / S. Moonshine Black Brazilian / Varigated Moonshine (?), IDK which one is the correct name.

My Sansevieria · More Info

Hopefully it will successfully converted into Aqua Sans... :)

Akrrm,

I saw that S. Aubrytiana also look like my Sans #1.

It's really confusing, is it S. Jaboa or S. Aubrytiana? Can anyone familiar with S. Aubrytiana or S. Jaboa?

I repotted it today, since it almost cracked the pot. Here is what it looked like when I took it out of the pot

My Sansevieria · More Info

Full roots and not much soil left. 2 years of roots... It start up with a leaf and rhizome. All connected and had to do some surgeries... :)

Here is my unknown sans

My cylindrica does have two different types of leaves

Shine Eden,

Here's a link that may be interesting regarding the names.

@Akrrm

Your Cylindrica looks exactly like mine!!! And so #2 already ID'ed S. Cylindrica!!! Hallelujah!!!:)

Your unknown sans also look like my #1. The color of my younger leaves looks like yours but my older leaves' color are deeper. Let's see what other thinks they are, S. Jaboa or S. Aubrytiana... :)

I took a measure, the widest leaf is 3 3/4" and the tallest leaf is 27" from the base.

@Barbmock

Thank you so much for the link! :)

Shine Eden, your Jaboa is really impressive, especially since it has grown so fast. Did you separate it into two pots? Your climate must be wonderful for growing plants. Do lots of people grow sans in your country?

Thanks Barbmock!

I want to share a little info about S. Jaboa, the leaf propagation is True-To-Type. It produce the same as parents.

Now I separate them into 2 pots. I thought I could fit them in 1 pot, but I was wrong. Here is the photos from 1 of the pot I took after the repotting.

In the area that I live, the climates are good for tropical plants. But not for plants that require colder weather. For example, no matter how much I like the Azaleas, Mapples, Prunus, even if managed to grow, may not even bloom. Grass always greener on the other side of the fences, right? :)

Lots of people grow Sans here, maybe 7 out of 10 houses have Sans in their garden/yard. Most of them are S. Laurentii, very common, easy to find and cheap too. around 50 cents a pot. Not many people here aware that the plant's name is Sansevieria, the famous name for Sans here is Mother-In-Law's Tounge. :)

Thanks for all the info about your Jaboa. Those plants were really packed nto that first pot. Please take some more photos as they grow. You could probably grow any knd of tropicals in your warm climate.

Question: #1 was started as a leaf and a rhyzome and the pot is that full after only 1.5 years?

Sure Barbmock, Just hope this time they don't filled their new pots too quick.

@Hellkitchenguy Manuel,

Yup, plus because of my lack of knowledge, put it full sun-rain, neglected it for the past 1 year, and only giving it fertilizer if I remember to do so.

Shine,

here's something to add to the confusion. Have a look at this thread from a while ago.

http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2145643/pics-of-sans

I think these look very much like the Jaboa we are seeing this year. I think it is all about marketing.

Here's another one to have a look at.

http://sanseverix.com/aubrytiana.html

This seems to tie these names all together. Aubrytiana, Jiboia and Ayo.

it seems to me that Jaboa and Jiboia might be two spellings of the same name. It's easy to see why we are so confused!

Barbmock,

Indeed, it is very confusing... According to the link Akrrm gave in Bob Smoley's list, there is difference between Aubrytiana & Jaboa/Jiboia. I assume from the description, Jaboa is bigger than Aubrytiana, with leaf around 4" Wide and 30" tall.

I measured mine and the widest leaf is 3 3/4" and the tallest is around 27" from the base. So I make an assumption that it might be Jaboa.

But I don't know anymore... It could be that Aubrytiana, Jaboa, Jiboia, Ayo, Ayo Crown is one and the same plant but different name. Well... I don't know... Unless someone who known better comes along here and ID it correctly...

i don't know either. Sometimes they are identified by the bloom.
