    Sorry I don't know the ID, but it's nice. I do hope that pot has a hole in the bottom.

    Of course! Thanks!

    How old is it or how long have you had it? IMHO, I think it is a Golden Hahnii, but I could be wrong... It looks like a young Golden Hahnii I had in the past that I killed, its color is paler, and the green parts are more prominent.

    Here is mine now

    amynoacids, I think this sans is one of the trifasciata Hahnii varieties. The high number of leaves is consistent as well as the size. This looks like a Golden Hahnii to me based on the variegation, but there are a few different types within the Golden Hahnii name.

    Here are two pics of mine that don't have a lot of green in the leaves, these are harder to grow than those with more green. I think yours is one of these types, note the very thin margin of green on the leaves, one of your leaves has only the thinnest of green border.


    You can see the difference in these Golden Hahnii's, the top 3 have wider green borders and somewhat darker interior green. The bottom two are more like your plant. More green means much easier to grow.

    So be VERY careful with your watering, especially this time of year in cool or cold temps. These Hahnii's can easily rot if overwatered, and yours is especially sensitive given it's lack of chlorophyll.

    Thanks, Russ. I've had this plant for a couple years. It was a mother's day gift that got over-watered by some well-intentioned kiddos, and almost kicked the bucket right when I got it. I pulled it back from the edge, but it went over a year with just one viable leaf. Now it seems happy and is starting to grow.

    And it is mostly white on all leaves, which I believe is why is been so slow to bounce back.

    Amynoacids, you're right that the lack of chlorophyll has made your sans slow to recover, and it'll be slow growing as well.

    Good for you in keeping it alive for so long, my luck with these 'less green' Golden Hahnii's has been pretty dismal and I've lost quite a few.

    Juan Chahinian, the great sansevieria explorer and expert, has a picture in his book 'The Trifasciata Varieties' of a Hahnii-type he calls Hahnii White Gold. If your plant didn't have any green on the margins it would look like this variety. The leaves are all-white or yellowish-white with the exception of green in the leaf interiors, no green whatsoever anywhere else. This one would be the devil to grow.
