2019 Parade O' Pups?

7 years ago

In looking through pages here it is great fun to look at your plants reproductive efforts. Let's see your pups of 2019, please.

Midnight Shine. So happy to see this. If this were the only pup of the year, I'd be happy.


Up and coming Hahnii marginated.


Maybe Compacta? It's trifasciata 'something vigorous'.




Marginated Mud Puppies growing in a bed that is rotting my Casa Blanca lillies. The pothos isn't even happy or growing. The Sans are sending up new growth everywhere.

    I think the real action will begin in the late fall/early winter. That's what happened last year.

  • 7 years ago

    why do you want to see? Do you need help?

  • 7 years ago

    Lovely idea, Shana. Here's my miniature african violet Ballet Snowcone.

    Fun idea Shana! Here's my new pups. I just watered everyone today so the soil may look weird.

    Here's my Starfish Sans babies. Not sure what I'll do to repot them before they get tall enough to get entangled in the bigger spikes. I'd like to avoid having to un-pot the whole plant.


    My whale fin sans' pup is also growing taller.


    My Philly Brasil shot out a whole bunch of new leaves last month.

    And my extremely slow growing Pearl and Jade Pothos is finally pushing up a couple new leaves.

    The Hahniis, those Golden Hahniis, when they are full like that, gosh, they are just gorgeous.

    Sanseveria is now in the family of Dracaena. We need to start calling it with its correct name

    Mike, Found some backup info on your input.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;

    The genus Sansevieria is closely related, and has recently been synonymized under Dracaena in the Kubitzki system.

    Best I can make out of this is the 'Jury is not in yet' on this issue. If Sanseveria is a sub-genus of Dracaena, that means it could cross and produce offspring. That would be a nice experiment to do. That is if any of my Dracaena ever blooms which I never witness as of yet.

  • 7 years ago

    The Family issues with Sansevieria are not something I'll personally get involved with discussions about. I've about had my clock cleaned because someone did not like my mention of a name that I was given to me for a plant. Of course, I was an idiot who needed put in my place! I just know that after Asparagaceae, Ruscaceae, Agavaceae, Liliaceae, and Dracaenaceae, the genus Sansevieria should have a home, even if it has to be built. I'll just stick my nose into my plants I have, the ones I want, and their care. My land, the tense conversations that can occur over the names of plants and how hard people can be on each other over such issues! I'll just read along as conversations about these things can provide me things that I can research for myself. I did see a photo on Facebook where it was claimed the plant pictured was some Dracaena crossed with some Sansevieria. I think it from Indonesia. I don't believe anything I hear and only about half of what I see.

    Today I knocked this 'Boncel' over. There's a baby in there, and what looks like 4 more (if some are not something else) potential pups getting roam ready. I just found this chunk on the floor of Lowe's or Home Depot in April. This is a 3 in pot and I would love to see it crazy with pups and in need of a repot, fast.

    Shana Lee, Agreed. Lets stick to the subject at hand. Sorry for going off topic.

    I had some hahnii that I though might be goners from crown rot but just noticed a new growth starting back in the mist of dead center leaves. Don't see that very often. Going to get some new pictures.

  • 7 years ago

    The Streakers? I wanna see....

  • 7 years ago

    Here's my one and only Streaker. Suffered from crown rot and hopeing all goes well.

    This hahnii Jade Margarenata is also suffering from crown rot but produced new pups.

    Another Gold Hahnii that had crown rot and now has new pups.

    This Gold Hahnii produced new pups but recovered from the crown rot and started growing again. Rarely does this happen.

    This new one to me last year is growing wildly. Love it.

    Large version of Gold Hahnii called Futura Asahi had regown a new center after crown rot.

    Some group family photos.



  • 7 years ago

    That's pretty wonderful, all that recovery, regrowth, and putting out new pups. I have had some similar surprises from the rotted out centers of pots of overgrown futuras. The Gold Flame are moving at a much slower rate. Your Streaker looks like she has a big survival story. Gorgeous.

    Is there a name that you know of for the regrowth from the crown after an event that causes destruction by rot? It's probably just 'regrowth', but it is pretty darn cool to see leaves coming from something that one might think should be dead and hopeless. I'm especially impressed with the Gold Hahnii.

  • 7 years ago

    Thanks Shana Lee, I owe it to our super warm humid weather were having. They are protected some what under my porch eve.

    BTW, I found a hybrid on line called ‘SUDRASAN01’. A cross of Sansevieria parva X Dracaena godseffiana variety so the author claims. It looks similar to Dracaena godseffiana ‘Milky Way. That means there may be other more exciting hybrids to come!

  • 7 years ago

    I will look for this. That could really opening a door to to more mad propagation and hybridizations. I'm excited to see what might come of this.

  • 7 years ago

    Everyone’s plants look amazing! BTW, thanks again Shanna and Stush!

  • 7 years ago

    Hi Shana Lee - good idea with this post !!

    Congratulations to everyone - beautiful little ones !!

    And few pups from me :)

    Sans. parva 'White variegated' - I was waiting for baby ... 2 years


    Sans. trif. 'Wagner's Gold' - baby also after almost two years


    And soon will be flower :)


    Sans. trif. 'Mein Liebling' - very slowly growing, baby grew after two years


  • 7 years ago

    I gave up on Sans. parva 'White variegated'. Had it three times only to kill it. That really bums me out. Some thing I am doing wrong with this one. Hate myself for that.


    Was thinking of starting new post 'Show your Flowering Sans'.

    Stush - start flowering topic, there will be a lot of entries, I'm sure :)

    My Sans. parva 'White variegated' grows very slowly, but grows. In winter carefully watering but on the other hand, do not dry, and in the summer like more water than other sans. Probably 2 times in 2 years I thought I would lose her. Now after 2 years I learned how to look after her.

  • 7 years ago

    I do like the idea of a Flowering Sans conversation.

    Another pot of Silver Queen. this pot looks distorted

    The center of this gold Flame died, I left it alone because the rest of it looked okay and there is a new plant between the bigger plants. The center now has new growth coming out of it, the strange striped leaf


    Here it is from the top, new growth is in the center of the lower plant


  • 7 years ago

    Well, actually all of these are pups from my one original Aechmea fasciata bought many years ago- although not formed this year, of course.

    Oh, good grief those are big, busy, beautiful plants. I don't think I've ever known anyone to have babies of these or to have kept them going more than 6 months. You have a pretty marvelous drift of them there.

  • 7 years ago


    Four pups have come on so fast, this 'Moonshine' is going to require a surgical extraction.

  • 7 years ago
    last modified: 7 years ago

    Shana Lee, Why? I leave mine on for a fuller look. Young pups don't do so well removed when so young. I like to leave mine on for a year before taking them off and then only to gift out other wise I would leave them on.



    Above plant is not a Moonshine but one called 'Starlight' which may be aka 'hahnii Silver Marginata'. Stays silver coloring with out darkening like Moonshine.

    The pups are staying on. The pot is going to have to be cut off the whole mass. I took one pup off last fall, one this Spring, for others. This plant started with a whole lot of room in this pot, this Spring. I'm pretty tickled with the four pups at once. I'ts almost instant gratification for a pot full of plant. I like the look of fresh bright leaves mixed in with the more mature leaves.
