Can you post a picture?

Here you go!

My moonshine did that , 8/28

And now it looks partially dried up.

This one has done this before and formed another plant with root nubs I had to remove last year because all of the leaves below it splayed out. This picture is from 8/30, it's forming another plant. You can see the small pointy leaves below the new part.

Here it is now

@Akrrm,

your Moonshine seems to be affected with some sort of crown rot, maybe something fungal. It was already present on the first pic (the coppery zones on the tips of the new leaves) and it's no surprise it "dried up" in the second one. I suggest you isolate this pot from the rest of your collection. I can't give you more info on this disease, if someone can identify it, feel free to complete/correct this diagnosis !

@Woodnative,

I've seen "stacking" in almost all of my Futura cultivars this winter. The plants I received this summer didn't produce leaves for months and then in october-november every one started to stack, producing 2/3 new leaves per crown.

Savantfou.

Savantfou, all of my plants have been treated with Bayer 3-in-1 if it was a fungal infection that is probably why it's dried up

Nancy, I would add some sulfur to my water to stop most fungus infections. I use a mix of Sulfur and Captan and I still loose some to fungus but it does seem to stop it from spreading.

Chris, nice colour in you Whitney. I also think the plant was stressed and stopped growing and then started to take off again. Maybe a burst of fertilizer? Those small leaves in the center will stay small and the newest ones will over take them giving a little distorted look to it. Just a guess, hope I'm wrong.

Stush I think you are correct. Yes it probably was stressed. 'Whitney' is a fantastic cultivar.....beautiful and easy grower. Because of space limiations, and the fact that it does take some abuse, it was in less than ideal conditions for a while as I brought other plants in. It is currently under a shop light at work and that is when it started to grow again.

I don't have a clue why these regrowths happen, but I've seen them once in a while in my collection. The new growth sometimes produce their own root nubs, which just beg to be cut and planted on their own.

Obviously something happens to make them stop growing prematurely, and then something else spurs them into growing again. Probably a stressor as Stush said. I see dried, brown leaves at the base of the new growth in some pics, so maybe in those cases a fungal disease caused the halt in growing and regrowth started once it was cured.

I don't think this is the same as stacking, but plants that do this might seem similar to a stacking sans except for the obvious 'stop and go' look of the leaves in the middle. Another one of sansevieria's cool little mysteries.

You have done a great job growing them Stush!

I agree! Stush, you grow some awesome sansevierias.
