Thanks Albert but it doesn't help because there are no pics for reference.

Sorry. I have deleted it.

Albert, it was ok, no need to delete.... I appreciated your gesture...

anyone... please help... I went ahead and ordered this Sans, and just received it... it's like nothing I've ever seen before. It's tall and thick, and the mottling is just as beautiful in person as it was in the pic. Mottling on the leaves almost remind me of a var. Mansoniana... idk!

I bought that plant from the same seller last year. Mine is not thick like you are describing, certainly not masoniana thick. I'll post a pic of it later if I get home in time to have daylight.

I did however buy a zeylanica from that same seller this year that certainly has stiff leaves and very similar growth pattern.

Thanks Vitorama... I've never seen any Sans like it... it's beautiful, but finding the variety name is driving me crazy with curiosity. I've been searching the internet for days, and when you enter S Fasciata, the ones that come up look nothing like it. I have several Zeylanicas and look nothing like this...

Have you considered that yours may be a juvenile form and the leaves may develop brown edges when it gets older? Check for Dutch descriptions of Sansaveria fasciata. It would appear to be the name a 1903 type specimen and as such shouldn't have a variety name, should it? Check Plantator.org.ua • Форум цветоводов • Главная страница - Заголовок сообщения. It looks like the Dutch pictures.

ETA disregard my sentence about 'type specimen' above. That is almost certainly wrong.

ETA II Compare and contrast yours to the leaf in the right of the pictures here. MIL ANUNCIOS.COM - Sansevieria Fasciata -

Thanks Jane... my plant is about 18" tall and everything about this plant is different, but yes, I'll look into it. I thought someone here may know something about it...

Mary, this is my fasciata variegated. The markings are quite similar but the leaves are soft and pliable, as you can see. I have this growing in a southern exposure window that is shaded in the summer by a tree. I'm wondering if your plant is just the immature version of this and will soften and spread as it gets older.

The last picture is fasciata not variegated, for comparison.

Also, I mentioned yours looks like my zeylanica and might be that. I was not referring to the market "Zeylanica", which is really S. trifasciata with a fancy name, I was referring to the actual species S. zeylanica.

Idk, I may never know what I bought... haha! It's very tall, growing very upright, and the leaves are wide and thick... I just potted it up, so here's how it looks. It's in a 6" Azalea pot because I haven't been able to go out and replenish my pot inventory, but I think it definitely would have done way better in an 8" Azalea pot; the rhizome fills the whole pot and that's why the plants is to one side.

Karen, I know many Sans growers don't like the bagged stuff, but because of my limitations, I just order Hoffman's Cactus & Succulent mix online, and use that on all my Jades and Sans. I have about 80 of them, been collecting for the past 5 years, (Sans 1 1/2 years) and they are all thriving... idk, they must like me

Very pretty, Mary. I could only find pictures and info on regular fasciata on the sanseverix website,

Very interesting plant!! Just curious if this was bought in the States or ordered from overseas. It certainly is different and in a good way!

Thanks for the link Nancy... Hi Woodnative... I bought it on eBay from a seller in Michigan... idk

Would love to have seen the root system. Sounds so much like a Masoniana Variegated type. Could be a hybrid. I also love it. Looks great.

Hi Stush! Yes, I agree; from what I've been able to dig up online, it comes closest to a Variegated Masoniana. Im so excited to see how it continues to develop. Thanks for your wise input...
