The new one is boncel, which means dwarf in Thai. The rest are offets from cuttings of regular cylindrica.

Very nice, thank you for sharing Ycloh1. I always love the beautiful pots you have over there!

Oyster, the pot was a used from the farm. So bought for $1

Stuart, Thanks for the naming. Have been looking for that fingers shape for a while.

Saw this in the farm.

They can damage your pot.

Haha, nice. I have a S. Black Gold which seems to bend spacetime of its pot into an oval. :)

Your little Boncel will probably grow pups that look the same (fan-like) but are larger. In Thailand, growers often use a retardant to keep the plants small, and they stay small when shipped. But I have a couple of regular cylindricas and I have never seen them pup so strangely. Mine just grow "straight-up" pups like the mother plant. Maybe someone else will add some info.

Robin, when the offsets are from cuttings they start out like seed-like babies as opposed to offsets from whole grown plants.

Stuart, I am not exactly sure what you are saying, given the photos that are offered. I have never seen any pups grow to be so dramatically different from the parent plant. I have several cylindricas, and about 5 Boncels are various sizes, and have propagated both from pups growing from the parent plant AND from leaves that accidentally broke off. (Couldn't throw them out -- had to save them.) Is a leaf that was broken off the parent plant or removed what you mean by a "cutting?" I have never seen a leaf cutting generate pups so different from the parent. But....learn something every day, I guess, right?

There is a thread I just saw that shows the 'growth stages of cylindrica'. The first round leaves come after 1 year.

Albert, Thanks for the link, when I bought Sansevieria cylindrica it look like a bunch of sticks. Than pups begin to sprout look different from the parent.

With the link it clear up the growing stages.

Here is another small one that sprout from S.Cylindrica cutting.

Thanks

Hmmmm...that doesn't look like a cylindrica.

Albert, that's a fascinating link and sequence. I never knew that (or saw it before). Really helped broaden my understanding of these wonderful Sansevierias. I really think they are the most creative and inventive plants going! Thanks for posting that.

Albert, thank you for the great information about cylindrica's growth stages. A few years ago I rooted some leaves of a singularis/fischeri and the new growth all came out as attractive flat-leafed plants too. They've been growing like this for a few years. So far the cylindrical-shaped leaves have not emerged. Maybe it's because I have them in a relatively small pot and they are crowded together. I hope they stay this way!

That cutting came from here.

Many sansevierias have different forms of leaves in different stages of life, and this is sometimes called heterophyllum in botany.

Juan Chahinian said in his book, The Splendid Sansevieria, that juvenile S. fischeri can spend a decade with only flat leaves before showing the first straight leaf.

It is also common for S. cylindrica leaf cuttings to grow flat-form leaves.

Thank you, ElliotLi. It's great to learn that my flat leaved fischeri may keep this pleasing shape for a few more years. I also have a ballyi that has flat, juvenile-stage leaves. Do all round-leaved sansevierias propagated from leaf cuttings go through this juvenile, flat-leaf stage?
