Show me your new growth

I've been putting my plants in the sink today for a good soaking and noticed some new growth on my robusta. It looks really stripey. Anyone else with new growth you can share a picture of?

    New always looks great. Promising and bright. I can't take my collection out of my basement for another two months so that's when I will take photos. I have one Golden Hahnii going thru some strange changes. Loosing all the leaves and having 5 or so new pups coming up at the same time. Seems the bottom is growing and the top is dying. I think the top dying is why the roots are producing such many pups.

    Stush, at least your golden hahnii is still producing. Can't wait to see how many pups you get.

    This is the new growth on my hahnii Seibert, this plant is not on the heating pad.

    Moonshine. This plant got really beat up last summer. It was in a clay pot, got knocked over by wind during a storm, the pot broke, repotted it, got broken again. The leaves always looked shriveled. I finally put it in a plastic pot and it looks a lot better. I had to cut off a lot of damaged leaves but it has some nice new growth now. My sans do better in plastic.

    This is rhe Blackjack I bought recently. As you can see, it's pretty battered up, but the new growth makes me feel like it will recover.

    This next one is Coppertone. It has filled the pot!
    This last one is Parva Giltedge. I have been worried about this little guy, but now I see a new growth, so maybe it will finally take off and grow this year.

    Very nice barbmock! The blackjack looks great and there's a lot of new growth, nice! The coppertone is really beautiful and the new growth on the parva gilt edge looks really great too.

  • 10 years ago

    It's really encouraging to see something growing after a long winter. Your Moonshine looks pretty!

    Are root growth include as a new growth?

    Here is my root growth from water propagated Sans. 1 month after.

    And I just discover my S.T. Laurentii new pup.

    Very nice rennet. Did you leave them together or remove the smaller green plant?

  • 10 years ago

    I just moved the whole thing to a wider shallow pot. The new rhizome from the previous picture should break the surface near the rock.


    The smaller green plant is actually the original cutting I received in 2013. It grew the larger offset 2 years ago, which is now about the make another new rosette.

    Shine they look really good. I haven't had any luck rooting in water.

    Rennet that looks really nice in that pot.

  • 10 years ago

    I was surprised to find some new growth on my noid sans.

  • 10 years ago

    My strange Golden Hahnii. Last year it was happy and over growing it's small pot. Cut up and gave away to help out and stub left over began to pup out. The remaining stem started to die back. With extra heat and light I made the mistake to over watering it. Killed the remaining stem but the pups still look good. pictures below.

    Got five pups coming up and one is a Golden Hahnii. I am so excited. I finially got one. Now the hard part. Growing it. I will keep together and move to a larger pot when it fills out more. Every one wish me luck.

    Wow Stush that is great you have a solid gold hahnii! Good luck with it!

  • 10 years ago

    It's a miracle! Good luck with that one.

  • 10 years ago

    Good luck Stush! :)

    Is it Solid Gold pup?

  • 10 years ago

    @Akrrm,

    Actually rooting in water is easier than it seems. I mixed the water with Liquinox (2ml/1L of water) + 2ml of growth hormone. After that, I follow what Russ told me, put it under bright fluorescence light, no direct sunlight. After a month (in my case) the root started to show up. What might help is ignoring it for a month. But I cannot help the urge to keep checking every now and then for the sign of roots... :D

    Ever since the roots show up, I'm a little bit easy on checking it... Can ignore it for a while longer. I just check the water level. :)

    One thing I don't know yet is when can I start to give fertilizer. Can I give it now or wait until it started to form a pup or two?

    akrrm (Nancy in NJ 7a) thanked Shine Eden
  • 10 years ago

    Shine,

    It is a Solid Gold pup and I hope I can keep it. It is the hardest one of all to grow. Keeping connected to rest of plants to keep it nourished.

    Also, watch giving new plants fertilizer. Sans don't really need it and could cause more damage than help. Fully established plants are ok to fertilizer.

    @Stush,

    I'm wondering now, are my loop's pride were rotting because of fertilizer? I gave them fertilizer recently, 16-16-16 NPK...

    New 'Moonshine' pup (and bonus new ZZ leaf.)

  • 10 years ago

    Very nice Tiffany. Did you propagate the ZZ by a cutting?

  • 10 years ago

    Shine,

    That is a good possibility. I would not use fertilize until mid-summer and diluted at that.

  • 10 years ago

    TY, Akrrm. It wasn't a propagation, just a "potato" that's been suicidal since '14. I think it feels better now.

    I am in shock. I ordered some sans from Bob Smoley, received them on Sept. 23, as a bonus he sent me some sansevieria green fountain, two pretty good sized plants, two tiny ones. They were shrivled, and only one lived. The others turned brown and dried up. Today I looked at the surviving plant and saw new growth, I'm so happy!

    And, since this is about new growth, my hahnii silver frost (from a very nice forum member) has new growth shooting up in the center.

    Had a few very pleasant surprises this spring. First is a Lillian True...I believe

    Next is dwarf jade marginate

    This next my francisii...a super find! All I had to do was rotate the pot to find it!

    Siam silver samurai as I'm told or is it manolin?

    Then..kirkii pulchra

    These make mama happy. Please correct me on the names if I'm wrong.

  • 10 years ago

    All of your plants have really nice new growth.

    Tenzan is the original name for Siam Silver. Some new names are thrown around but they aren't correct.

    Manolyn/manolin is not the same plant and is supposed to get rust, although mine has not so far.

    Please post a picture when your Tenzan flower opens, please:)










  • 10 years ago

    Yes, thank you akrrm, I had totally forgotten Tenzan was the name. I can't wait for the flower to open. There have a few flowers so far this year also.

    Spring must be pupping time. I've just fallen in love with these guys a couple months ago, but I'm making up for lost time! Here are my inside snakes' pups. My outside ones are doing well too.

    Reason to celebrate! My once(maybe) per year new growth on my pink hallii, plus a little twig of S. suffruticosa.

    They're my babies. :-) I do get pride from them. Funny!

    This is such an inspiring and beautiful thread.


    It looks today like my poor, poor, nearly-dead fischeri might make it after all. I hope so -- this has been one of my all-time favorite plants for 8-9 years. It used to be fat and thriving, with multiple growths. How it got in its current condition is a long story, but it's been rootless and withered like this for at least a year. It's just amazing, the resiliency of these plants.

    I was checking my plants today and noticed a new offset on a piece of my Whitney I had removed.

    A new offset on Eve

  • 10 years ago

    Wonderful Akrrm! It is always so exciting to see those new growths.

    I just love the color of Eve and Whitney. Yes it is so exciting to see new growth. Makes me feel like I'm doing something right!

  • 10 years ago

    I do too, K! I remember the first time I saw Whitney, I was so excited because I'd never seen anything like it.

  • 10 years ago

    Ok, Ok, I've looked long enough, Now that this board has me hooked on sans, I might as well show you guys mine.

    Very nice Maria. We are a bunch of sans enablers :)

  • 10 years ago

    I don't know what kind of Hahnii this is, but I was lucky to find it in such good shape at Meijer.

  • 10 years ago

    Maria, It could be a larger growing kind called Futura. Gets about 15 inches tall. If it stays under 6 inches then it is Sans. tri. 'Hahnii Marginated'. Both are very nice plants to own.

    I should have some this fall for postage.

    I split my original silver queen away from the new growth because it was being pushed out of the pot. I noticed there is new growth coming from the original plant again. I was really surprised to see this.
